Re: [PATCH] Define relative .git/objects/info/alternates semantics.

Linus Torvalds [off-list ref] writes:

Which means that the _same_ "alternates" file can be shared with many
different project.git/ directories, and thus it's not well-defined to make
it relative to GIT_DIR.

Good point.

You can make it relative to "GIT_OBJECTS_DIR/.." of course, which in most
cases is the same thing as "GIT_DIR".

Again, good point.
