Hello to everyone,
today I reported what I believed to be a bug on
https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/3496
and learned about GIT_DIR when working with aliases and git worktree.
It's annoying that GIT_DIR it is defined only if (as far as I've
understood) working from a worktrees or submodule, as it does not seem
to be related to those type of repositories.
This is also irritating because apparently working aliases breaks when
being executed from those repositories.
I believe it would be better if GIT_DIR it's either always set or never
(could someone enlighten me why the variable is needed in first place?).
If it is consistently set, it would make it much easier to notice that
an alias is actually broken.
Best
Federico
