Re: using aliases within the subdirectory

Dear all,

I am facing a problem, noted previously in
    
http://git.661346.n2.nabble.com/git-alias-always-chdir-to-top-td1609456.html  

    http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/git/2010/5/5/29818/thread
which in practice means that I cannot pass the " -- 
relative_path_to_some_file_in_the_tree" argument to my alias.

Is there any way to get the current working dir before git changes dir 
to root directory?

Best regards,
Matej

This may depend on your shell and rc files, but for me, $PWD gives the
original current working dir.

Also, revisiting that topic after 1.7.5 seems worthwhile.
