setup_gdg is used as abbreviation for setup_git_directory_gently.
The work tree can be specified using the environment variable
GIT_WORK_TREE and the config option core.worktree (the environment
variable has precendence over the config option). Additionally
there is a command line option --work-tree which sets the
environment variable.
setup_gdg does the following now:
GIT_DIR unspecified
repository in .git directory
parent directory of the .git directory is used as work tree,
GIT_WORK_TREE is ignored
GIT_DIR unspecified
repository in cwd
GIT_DIR is set to cwd
see the cases with GIT_DIR specified what happens next and
also see the note below
GIT_DIR specified
GIT_WORK_TREE/core.worktree unspecified
cwd is used as work tree
GIT_DIR specified
GIT_WORK_TREE/core.worktree specified
the specified work tree is used
Note on the case where GIT_DIR is unspecified and repository is in cwd:
GIT_WORK_TREE is used but is_inside_git_dir is always true.
I did it this way because setup_gdg might be called multiple
times (e.g. when doing alias expansion) and in successive calls
setup_gdg should do the same thing every time.
Meaning of is_bare/is_inside_work_tree/is_inside_git_dir:
(1) is_bare_repository
A repository is bare if core.bare is true or core.bare is
unspecified and the name suggests it is bare (directory not
named .git). The bare option disables a few protective
checks which are useful with a working tree. Currently
this changes if a repository is bare:
updates of HEAD are allowed
git gc packs the refs
the reflog is disabled by default
(2) is_inside_work_tree
True if the cwd is inside the associated working tree (if there
is one), false otherwise.
(3) is_inside_git_dir
True if the cwd is inside the git directory, false otherwise.
Before this patch is_inside_git_dir was always true for bare
repositories.
When setup_gdg finds a repository git_config(git_default_config) is
always called. This ensure that is_bare_repository makes use of
core.bare and does not guess even though core.bare is specified.
inside_work_tree and inside_git_dir are set if setup_gdg finds a
repository. The is_inside_work_tree and is_inside_git_dir functions
will die if they are called before a successful call to setup_gdg.

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// GIT - the stupid content tracker //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// "git" can mean anything, depending on your mood. - random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant. - stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the dictionary of slang. - "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room. - "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals. Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License. It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net. It is currently maintained by Junio C Hamano. Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions. See Documentation/tutorial.txt to get started, then see Documentation/everyday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and "man git-commandname" for documentation of each command. CVS users may also want to read Documentation/cvs-migration.txt. Many Git online resources are accessible from http://git.or.cz/ including full documentation and Git related tools. The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org. To subscribe to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=git and other archival sites. The messages titled "A note from the maintainer", "What's in git.git (stable)" and "What's cooking in git.git (topics)" and the discussion following them on the mailing list give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
