The relevance is this: _iff_ we want to prevent `git bisect` from
running
in a subdirectory under the premise that that subdirectory might need to
be removed, then why don't we prevent `git rebase` from running in a
subdirectory when that command is equally likely to remove that
subdirectory?

That's a good point, I'd completely missed the analogy with `rebase --exec`

I concur.  Perhaps we should make rebase a bit more careful.

That might be a rabbit hole that's a little too deep. If we want to make
rebase a bit more careful, we then also must make `git -C ..` more
careful. And `git -C ../..`...

I am fairly certain that I don't want to go there.

Ciao,
Dscho
