Need to set --work-tree?

[pinkchry]

I'm having some issues with running fugitive.vim under windows with msysgit. Running Gstatus tells me that all the files in the repo are marked as deleted. After researching the issue, it looks like --work-tree may need to get set as well. I'm surprised that no one has run into this before...

After more investigation it looks like something funky is going on. --work-tree does not seem necessary.
However git still thinks that all the files in the repo have been deleted and the files in the dir all are marked as untracked. They are the same files! Somehow git cannot match the current files in the directory with the repo. Running this command in a separate dos prompt works fine

c:\windows\system32\cmd /c git --git-dir="F:/src/.git" --work-tree="F:/src/" status

Also :Git status works unlike :Gstatus

After going through the code I guess changing

let index = expand('%')
to
let index = expand('%:p')

appears to solve the problem. Hope this helps someone out.

Are you doing something sketchy like automatically changing the directory each time you edit the file? That's a common cause of hard to debug issues like this.

Your fix, though, is fairly low impact, so I'm applying it.

Nothing that I know of unless other plugins are doing something weird. current directory seemed to be ok. It's just that the index file was found in the parent dir and not the .git directory
