Hi,
is it correct that this checkout fails?
% git --git-dir=$HOME/git/git/.git --work-tree=/tmp/git symbolic-ref HEAD
refs/heads/master
% git --git-dir=$HOME/git/git/.git --work-tree=/tmp/git checkout
fatal: /usr/bin/git-checkout cannot be used without a working tree.
I want to do a checkout in a script without need to worry about the
current working directory. But it seams this is not possible. Many
commands fail. Is this behaviour expected?
Bye, Jörg.

Works well here with version 1.5.4.2.281.g28d0e. What version were you using?
