As far as I can tell, there is no way to set the work-tree for a repository (a command like "git --git-dir=first/directory/.git --work-tree=second/directory init" would do the trick, but it looks like the plugin does not have support for libgit2's git_repository_init_ext method -- which accepts a git_repository_init_options argument ... or the git_repository_set_workdir function may also work).

I'd like to request a feature that would let me accomplish work-tree assignment in some way.

Thanks
