Pádraig,

Thank you for your response.

Indeed you raised a good point:

  $ mkdir -vp /tmp/foo/bar
  mkdir: created directory `/tmp/foo'
  mkdir: created directory `/tmp/foo/bar'
  $ (cd /tmp/foo && git init)
  Initialized empty Git repository in /tmp/foo/.git/

  $ ./git-dir /tmp/foo
  target:        /tmp/foo
  from git:      .git
  from abs_path: /tmp/foo/.git
  $ ./git-dir /tmp/foo/bar
  target:        /tmp/foo/bar
  from git:      /tmp/foo/.git
  from abs_path: /tmp/foo/.git

  $ alias git-dir="`pwd`/git-dir"

  $ (cd /tmp && git-dir foo)
  target:        foo
  from git:      .git
  from abs_path: /tmp/foo/.git
  $ (cd /tmp && git-dir foo/bar)
  target:        foo/bar
  from git:      /tmp/foo/.git
  from abs_path: /tmp/foo/.git

Therefore, I propose a new patch for you to scrutinize.
