From 9277d60233a1829742aa2d9d20ddbfc3b2b7acde Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Junio C Hamano Date: Mon, 27 Aug 2007 22:41:23 -0700 Subject: git --bare cmd: do not unconditionally nuke GIT_DIR "GIT_DIR=some.where git --bare cmd" and worse yet "git --git-dir=some.where --bare cmd" were very confusing. They both ignored git-dir specified, and instead made $cwd as GIT_DIR. This changes --bare not to override existing GIT_DIR. This has been like this for a long time. Let's hope nobody sane relied on this insane behaviour.
