I disagree with how intuitive this behavior is. "rebase" is a repository level command - It modifies the objects in the repository. As a side effect, the working tree attached to a (non-bare) repository is changed, even outside of where the rebase was ran.

Since the rebase affects the entire repository, I think it makes sense for the commands to be run out of the repository root.

Perhaps a command-line option for toggling this behavior would be a good compromise.
