Actually I think the $cwd is the "Current working directory"; the
phrase "Working directory" alone does not specifically refer to $cwd.

Being consistent to call the checked out file hierarchy "working tree"
is probably a good idea nevertheless.

If you apply this patch and then run

    $ git grep -B1 '^directory' Documentation/git-read-tree.txt

you would notice that the patch has missed a few more.

Also

    $ git grep 'work tree' Documentation/git-read-tree.txt

has a handful of hits.

Perhaps try again?

Thanks.
