[git-users] rev-parse --is-inside-work-tree never returns false?

2013-01-14 Thread Tim Chase
I was playing around with some of the information that rev-parse can return and just tried --is-inside-work-tree to see what it would return. As expected, in my working-dir $PROJ, it returns true. Same for within $PROJ/.git and $PROJ/dir_with_nothing_tracked However, when I try git rev-parse
