GIT_DIR and GIT_WORK_TREE not respected

[fredcooke]

git dir to find the git dir (allow it to override the usual find mechanism and/or variable), and the work dir for git status/describe checking. Thanks in advance :-)

Looking up the var and using it if set during JGit initialization should be enough to fix this I guess.
I'll give it 1 hour tomorrow ;-)

No big rush on this, my work-around is working fine :-) The plugins that are currently holding me up with bugs are two that I recently adopted myself...

For others reference:

My first work-around:

cp -ar $GIT_DIR $GIT_WORK_TREE/

My improved work-around:

ln -s $GIT_DIR $GIT_WORK_TREE/.git
