I do not do this myself, but I was wondering what would happen
if somebody has "export GIT_DIR=/var/filfre" in ~/.profile.

Well, I know what would happen, actually --- things would not
work when you do fetch/push because the tools want to use the
path given from the other end but the environment overrides it
with GIT_DIR.
