* "git difftool" misbehaved when the repository is bound to the

* "git push" did not pay attention to branch.*.pushremote if it is

the same as one of the versions being compared.

* "git reset" needs to refresh the index when working in a working

tree (it can also be used to match the index to the HEAD in an

otherwise bare repository), but it failed to set up the working
163+
tree properly, causing GIT_WORK_TREE to be ignored.
