Subject: inconsistent use of worktree?

Hi there,
I have a $GIT_DIR in ~/.bin/colgit.git, which is bare=false and has
worktree=.. (the parent). This relates back to a suggestion by
Johannes Schindelin [0] for maintaining files like ~/.vimrc and
~/.zshrc in separate repos sharing the same worktree. In short:
while ~/.bin/colgit.git holds all of colgit's objects, refs, and the
index, the repository's files are in ~/.bin (and thus in $PATH).
0. http://marc.info/?l=git&m=118418927823760&w=2
I am trying to figure out a sensible way to work with this, ideally
one which does not require me to set $GIT_DIR (which works):
GIT_DIR=~/.bin/colgit.git git status
GIT_DIR=~/.bin/colgit.git git add ...
GIT_DIR=~/.bin/colgit.git git commit ...
(or one export GIT_DIR)
but that's a lot of typing and thus error-prone.
So in a flash of utter genius, I found this to work:
piper:~/.bin/colgit.git> git status
# On branch master
# Changed but not updated:
# (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed)
#
# modified: colgit
#
no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")
piper:~/.bin/colgit.git> git add ../colgit
piper:~/.bin/colgit.git> git status
# On branch master
# Changes to be committed:
# (use "git reset HEAD <file>..." to unstage)
#
# modified: colgit
and I rejoiced, because that's really pretty cool. But then, trying
to commit, reality hit back:
piper:~/.bin/colgit.git> git commit -m'initial commit'
nothing to commit (use "git add file1 file2" to include for commit)
So I had to revert to using GIT_DIR for this:
piper:~/.bin> GIT_DIR=colgit.git git commit -m'initial commit'
Created initial commit 008594d: initial commit
1 files changed, 104 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-)
create mode 100755 colgit
And then things got really weird, after I accidentally tried the
direct commit (without GIT_DIR) again, following some touchups
I made to the colgit file:
piper:~/.bin/colgit.git> git commit -m'repairing registration and other touchups'
Created commit acd86b9: Merge branch 'vimplate'
Huh, vimplate? What happened to the commit? Why vimplate?
piper:~/.bin/colgit.git> git log
commit 0ad26b00c31617bf3e31a052e3c3af9ef661407b
Author: martin f. krafft <madduck@madduck.net>
Date: Thu Sep 6 11:45:38 2007 +0200
repairing registration and other touchups
[...]
But the commit appears alright, acd86b9 is the tip of ~/.git,
further up, and the output of git-rev-parse HEAD in ~/.bin, the
parent directory and worktree of ~/.bin/colgit.git.
What is git doing? Could it be that it's getting utterly confused
and inconsistently uses the worktree? I'd be happy to investigate
this, but want to make sure I am not doing anything wrong!
Cheers,
