We wouldn't want to add this in the form suggested above, but it does sound like a useful feature, if I understand it correctly. But I don't quite see how you'd tie a specific location to a specific GIT_DIR value, so I don't see how this would work in general. Perhaps fall back on GIT_DIR/GIR_WORK_TREE if vc-git-root returns nil would be reasonable? -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) bloggy blog: http://lars.ingebrigtsen.no

O.K. thanks to your pointer this was really easy. I don't know if there are negative side effects or if it's a complete solution to the problem but it works for me. The patch does not normalize the resulting path, though. Don't know if this is a problem. For instance (vc-git-root "~/.emacs.d/init.el") gives me: "/home/grfz/.fgits/emacs.git/../../" I don't know if other version controll systems have similar means of detaching repository and working directory. Then vc-find-root would perhaps be a better place to patch. But thats beyond me. Thank you *very* much. Now I have to learn how to use emacsclients environment for this purpose instead of the daemon ones.

Sorry I'm not capable to do this. That's the reason I called it a wish list bug. Because of your suggestion I have fiddled around a bit and found a workaround which somehow supports your suggestion:: I initilalised an empty repository ~/.git. Now vc "considers" my whole home directory as potentially version controlled and interacts with git. Git in turn honours the environment variables and voila: many of the vc-commands are working now. Since I do not want to use this ~/.git I did a chmod -R a-w ~/.git in order to prevent accidentially using this repository in stead of one of the detached ones. Thanks for the hint. Gregor

Dear emacs developers,
I use bare git repositories for version contol of some dotfiles.[1] This
means that the repository ist *not* in a .git directory which is part of
the working directorys hirarchy. Instead the environment variable
GIT_DIR indicates the location of the repository and the environment
variable GIT_WORK_TREE indicates the working directory. But in emacs/vc
these dotfiles do not show up as version controlled, even when the emacs
session inherited the correct GIT_* environment variables:
~$ export GIT_DIR=~/.fgits/emacs.git
~$ export GIT_WORK_TREE="$GIT_DIR/$(git config --get core.worktree)"
~$ printenv|grep GIT
GIT_DIR=/home/grfz/.fgits/emacs.git
GIT_WORK_TREE=/home/grfz/.fgits/emacs.git/../../
There are several files/directories under ~/.emacs.d, but *no* .git
directory::
~$ ls .emacs.d/
~/.emacs.d$ ls -A
_abbrev_defs _backup elpa _emms-history history
init.el _recentf todo-top
_abbrev_defs.old _diary _emacs.bmk games _ido.last
lisp _remember_backups update-org.sh
auto-save-list elisp _emacs_orig _gnus
image-dired .org-id-locations todo-do
There is also no ~/.git
~/$ ls -l ~/.git
ls: cannot access /home/grfz/.git: No such file or directory
but git works fine:
cd ~/.emacs.d
~/.emacs.d$ git status
# On branch master
# Changed but not updated:
# (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed)
# (use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in
# working directory)
#
# modified: init.el
#
no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")
Or:
~/.emacs.d$ git log -n 1

new german aspell directory name; show max buffer size; minor
changes
This are the files in ~/.emacs.d which are version controlled:
~/.emacs.d$ git ls-files
_abbrev_defs
_diary
_gnus
init.el
Now I start emacs:
emacs -Q -n
and evaluate
(getenv "GIT_DIR")
this shows
"/home/grfz/.fgits/emacs.git"
in the echo area, while
(getenv "GIT_WORK_TREE")
gives
"/home/grfz/.fgits/emacs.git/../../"
That's o.k. Now I ^X f visit ~/.emacs.d/init.el but no
indication that init.el is version controlled shows up in the
mode line:
-UUU:----F1 init.el Top L1 (Emacs-Lisp)----------------------------------------------------------
Now I type ^X v d (vc-dir), emacs asks
VC status for directory: ~/.emacs.d/
when I confirm this, I get the message
No VC backend is responsible for /home/grfz/.emacs.d/
in the echo area.
vc does not support the specific git feature of detatched repositories.
Therefore I file this bugreport / wishlist bug: IMHO vc should
support this feature. In order to do so vc should honour the
environment variables GIT_DIR and GIT_WORK_TREE respectively and
utilize the git ls-files directory. git gives
precedence to these environment variables: even if there is a
.git directory with reository it will be ignored if the
environment variables indicate other locations for repository and
working directory. I think vc should behave in the same way.
Thanx for your attention,
Gregor

These "fake bare repos" are created like this:
export GIT_DIR=~/.fgits/emacs.git
git init --bare
git config core.bare false
git config core.worktree ../../
git config status.showUntrackedFiles no
see http://lists.madduck.net/pipermail/vcs-home/2008-August/000175.html
for an explanation of this way of keeping dotfiles under version
control.
