Is there a reason making sure we're at the top-level dir isn't necessary anymore?

Here you delete a chdir to the top-level directory, just as you deleted the comment above, yet in the commit message you don't explain why this isn't necessary anymore. Doesn't the rest of the code still assume that it's running at the top-level dir?
