Minor thing: git-rebase, git-cherry-pick and git-pull (and presumably git-merge) all need to be the repository root to work. If that is intentional, a better message than "fatal: Not a git repository: '.git'" would be appropriate.

For me, I'd prefer that they worked in subdirectories. I do all almost all development in "src/" and having to change up a directory just to run git commands is inconvenient.
