Subject: [PATCH] Remove .git auto detection from setup_git_env()
Date: Fri,  5 Feb 2010 18:47:48 +0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1265370468-6147-1-git-send-email-pclouds@gmail.com> (raw)

When GIT_DIR environment variable is not specified, .git will be
searched if a repository is needed. Currently this can be done in two
places: setup_git_directory_gently() and setup_git_env().

The one in setup_git_env() is no longer correct and should IMHO have
been removed since the introduction of setup_git_directory_gently() in
d288a70. Having two ways of auto detection may lead to obscure errors
because .git may be misdetected by setup_git_env(),
automatically called via git_path(), which is all over the place.

This patch makes setup_git_env() die if GIT_DIR is not explictly
set. That's setup_git_directory_gently()'s job. If you ever want to
touch things inside $GIT_DIR, you should have already called
setup_git_directory_gently().

This patch breaks commands (in a good way) and obviously not for
mainline. I still have to go through "make test" to see how many are
impacted. But I think this is a good change. Am I missing something?
