Hello David,

> Does it help to say export CDPATH="" in your root shell?

no. The problem is triggered by "git-checkout-index -a -f" so my CDPATH has
absolutly _nothing_ todo with it:

        (faui04a) [/var/tmp] mkdir -p test-4/.git
        (faui04a) [/var/tmp] cd test-4
        (faui04a) [/var/tmp/test-4] gcp -a ~/work/repositories/public/easix.git/* .git/
        (faui04a) [/var/tmp/test-4] git-read-tree HEAD
        (faui04a) [/var/tmp/test-4] git-checkout-index -a -f
        (faui04a) [/var/tmp/test-4] git status
        fatal: /usr/bin/git-status cannot be used without a working tree.
        (faui04a) [/var/tmp/test-4] rm .git/config
        (faui04a) [/var/tmp/test-4] git status
        # On branch master
        # Changed but not updated:
        #   (use "git add/rm <file>..." to update what will be committed)

        (faui04a) [/var/tmp/test-4] cd ..
        (faui04a) [/var/tmp] rm -rf test-4
        rm: Unable to remove directory test-4: File exists
        (faui04a) [/var/tmp]
