Heh. I spent about 10 minutes last week trying to understand why
git-new-workdir was failing horribly on one user's system.
Turns out they once managed to do:
cd /
git init
a long, long, long time ago and just didn't notice it until now. git
kept finding /.git rather than the .git it was supposed to locate,
which was a bare repository in $HOME/.storage-pool/dayjob.git.
