OK. Fair enough.  Maybe it would be good to note in git-sh-setup.sh that
many of the supplied functions will not work when called from within
$GIT_DIR.

Sorry, "supplied functions"?  Care to clarify with a patch?

I guess really just the cd_to_topdir() function.  It will silently fail
when run from within $GIT_DIR.

Ah, I see what you meant.

I think you probably are supposed to check with is_bare_repository
or something before calling that, as asking to cd to toplevel
implies you know there is such a thing as toplevel ;-)

That's fine.  I guess using `$GIT_DIR/../` as you mentioned before will
just have to work.
