which I took to mean "Junio thinks that, by default, Git should stop
walking up to find a bare repo, and thinks this is better because of
rationale X."
The X is "it would not break existing use case too badly, just to
address a 'security' story whose severity is not so clearly
expressed".
If it the latter, then I'm in favor of taking Stolee's suggestion to
drop "cwd", since nobody else finds it useful enough. (I like the
'simplification' story, but not enough to push "cwd" through, especially
since it does quite little security-wise.)
As long as you'll be there to answer the angry mob that complain
loudly (and irritatingly enough, the only do so after a release is
made to flip the default), I do not care too much either way ;-).

Thanks.
