Yup. I'm thinking about setting both $GIT_DIR and $GIT_WORK_TREE once
and for all at the end of the repo setup. This should also spare us
setting it up specifically for gitk (and then separately for the
tools). The question is: should it be done the way it's done for gitk
(i.e. normalizing the paths), or just use it as-is? In the latter
case, the question would be why is the path being normalized before
gitk is invoked.

Ideas?
