I'm trying to make my scripts work without cd'ing to the working copy, by
passing --git-dir and --work-tree to every git command.
It works for everything except submodules.
+ git --git-dir subdir/.git --work-tree subdir submodule add
subdir/submod
fatal: /usr/lib/git-core/git-submodule cannot be used without a working
tree.
`subdir` and `subdir/submod` are git repositories, already initialized,
with commits in them. `git submodule update` also fails with the same
message.
It seems that git-submodule ignores `--work-tree` and refuses to work if
the current directory isn't inside of the working tree.
Am I missing something? Is it possible to make git-submodule work without
cd'ing into the working tree?
