Subject: [PATCH] Add "--git-dir" flag to git-rev-parse
X-Git-Tag: v0.99.7~4
X-Git-Url: https://git.verplant.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=a8783eeb7988a20664dade2379d380ee1a199a10;p=git.git

[PATCH] Add "--git-dir" flag to git-rev-parse

Especially when you're deep inside the git repository, it's not all that
trivial for scripts to figure out where GIT_DIR is if it isn't set.

So add a flag to git-rev-parse to show where it is, since it will have
figured it out anyway.
