$ pwd

would work.

PB> Yes. But if you do just cg-commit in the subdirectory, it won't work.

The point of git-run-with-user-path is that it canonicalizes and
filters the paths, chdir(2)'s to GIT_PROJECT_TOP before running
cg-commit.  So when cg-commit starts in the above example,

    (1) its $cwd is /usr/src/linux and your .git subdirectory is
        right there in ./.git/
    (2) it gets fs/ext2/Makefile and fs/ext3/Makefile as arguments.

BTW, I am wondering if your choice of cg-commit as an example
(as opposed to something else like diff or add) is a flamebait
or just an innocent random example ;-)?

PB> It was completely innocent. :-) How would it be a flamebait?
