Hi,
I thought I'd try to bisect this but I ended up discovering that I get
the exact same behaviour with both 1.7.9.5 and 1.8.4.2. 1.7.9.5 will
also output 'fatal: ...' like 1.8.4.2 does.
Both version will however behave as expected if you provide --git-dir
and --work-tree:
$ pwd
/home/osse
$ git --version
git version 1.8.4.2
$ git --git-dir=/home/osse/git/.git \
--work-tree=/home/osse/git \
rev-parse --is-inside-work-tree
false
Ditto for --is-inside-git-dir.
Incidentally I discovered that the new -C option does *not* behave this
way:
$ git --version
git version 1.8.5.rc0.23.gaa27064
$ git -C /home/osse/git rev-parse --is-inside-work-tree
true
But given that the purpose of the -C option is to make Git behave as if
you were in that directory this is perhaps expected behaviour.

Øsse
