Official support for specifying --work-tree/GIT_WORK_TREE without
--git-dir/GIT_DIR was added with v1.7.4-rc3~2^2~2. Update description
of GIT_WORK_TREE to reflect this.

Commit ea472c1 made most of the relevant updates. Noticed this while
troubleshooting a script that failed when using an old version of Git.

The '--git-dir' command-line option also sets this value.
'GIT_WORK_TREE'::
- Set the path to the working tree. The value will not be
- used in combination with repositories found automatically in
- a .git directory (i.e. $GIT_DIR is not set).
+ Set the path to the root of the working tree.
This can also be controlled by the '--work-tree' command line
option and the core.worktree configuration variable.
