Interesting. That would explain why I didn't see the problem on my Debian system.

I am still puzzled why Russell would see the message he does, though. From my read of the code, seeing "not in directory list" but not seeing "...does not appear to be a git repository" implies that enter_repo() succeeds, but ok_paths is non-empty and forbids it.

Probably not that important if your suggestions here solve his problem. But of course if you can easily satisfy my curiosity by running through a debugger, I'd be happy. ;)

It might just be that I'm mis-reading the code.
