D'oh, now I know why.  I'm trying git to keep my home directory config

Ok, that's definitely a git misfeature.

I think we could probably add a check something like:

 - once we have found a .git directory by walking up the tree, the 
   directory we actually came _from_ should then be tracked by that git 
   directory.

but I wonder how to do that properly (we would probably need to load the 
index, which we generally don't want to do).
