Subject: [PATCH] git.txt: remove stale comment regarding GIT_WORK_TREE
Date: Thu, 30 May 2013 20:11:41 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1369962701-13820-1-git-send-email-chris@rorvick.com> (raw)

Official support for specifying --work-tree/GIT_WORK_TREE without
--git-dir/GIT_DIR was added with v1.7.4-rc3~2^2~2.  Update description
of GIT_WORK_TREE to reflect this.

Signed-off-by: Chris Rorvick <chris@rorvick.com>

Commit ea472c1 made most of the relevant updates.  Noticed this while
troubleshooting a script that failed when using an old version of Git.

 	The '--git-dir' command-line option also sets this value.
 
 'GIT_WORK_TREE'::
-	Set the path to the working tree.  The value will not be
-	used in combination with repositories found automatically in
-	a .git directory (i.e. $GIT_DIR is not set).
+	Set the path to the root of the working tree.
