I'm not so sure. Didn't you demonstrate that cd_to_toplevel as-is will
not actually go to the toplevel if we're outside of the work tree?

And changing it is non-trivial, because there may be weird cases that
rely on staying there? See my final note in the thread:

I'm happy to tweak the "access denied" message if other people want. I
kind of hoped it wouldn't matter, and that most sites would use
--informative-errors.
