So for adding and commiting a file to inmemrepo, one would have 

1) Insert the object

Yes. 

2) update the index

There is no index, since there is no working directory in an in memory layout.

3) create the tree and commit

Yes

4) update the refs

Yes

Is that correct? Or is there an easier way to go about this?

You can have a look at the tests Mathias mentioned but the above steps are the same. 

Any particular reason that setting a work tree is not supported for such a repository?

The clue is in the name - in memory != on disk.

The porcelain commands assume a File basis in some cases, particularly when it comes to the working tree. You can perform inserts into an in-memory repository if you do the work yourself, but the porcelain commands do not work in that way.

Thanks for the response.

Even if that was the case, shouldn't it support the case where a file can be added and committed to the repos (which in turn would create object, tree, commit refs etc. in memory)?

Hi,

When using FileRepository, I see we can use JGit porcelain equivalent of Git commands like add file, commit etc. 

But there doesn't seem a way to set a WorkTree for InMemoryRepository. My understanding was that this (in-memory) storage is equivalent of .git folder in case of FileRepository .  What is the way to add files to such a repo, using ObjectInserter?

Thanks in advance for the help :) 

AFAIK InMemoryRepository is only used by tests. See DfsInserterTest for some examples.
