--work-tree=<path>::
- Set the path to the working tree. The value will not be
- used in combination with repositories found automatically in
- a .git directory (i.e. $GIT_DIR is not set).
+ Set the path to the working tree. It can be an absolute path
+ or a path relative to the current working directory.
This can also be controlled by setting the GIT_WORK_TREE
environment variable and the core.worktree configuration
- variable. It can be an absolute path or relative path to
- the directory specified by --git-dir or GIT_DIR.
- Note: If --git-dir or GIT_DIR are specified but none of
- --work-tree, GIT_WORK_TREE and core.worktree is specified,
- the current working directory is regarded as the top directory
- of your working tree.
+ variable (see core.worktree in linkgit:git-config[1] for a
+ more detailed discussion).
--bare::
Treat the repository as a bare repository. If GIT_DIR
contents of <old|new>,
<old|new>-hex:: are the 40-hexdigit SHA1 hashes,
<old|new>-mode:: are the octal representation of the file modes.

The file parameters can point at the user's working file
(e.g. `new-file` in "git-diff-files"), `/dev/null` (e.g. `old-file`

---------------
-The documentation for git suite was started by David Greaves
-<david@dgreaves.com>, and later enhanced greatly by the
-contributors on the git-list <git@vger.kernel.org>.
+Git was started by Linus Torvalds, and is currently maintained by Junio
+C Hamano. Numerous contributions have come from the git mailing list
+<git@vger.kernel.org>. For a more complete list of contributors, see
+http://git-scm.com/about. If you have a clone of git.git itself, the
+output of linkgit:git-shortlog[1] and linkgit:git-blame[1] can show you
+the authors for specific parts of the project.
