Is it supposed to be normal ?! I mean : OK I can use git-remote, but this leads to differents results for similar usages and similar commands. Let's compare following cases :

_Case 1:_

|
|_repo1
|   |
|   \_dir
|
\_repo2
     |
     \_dir

cd repo2/dir git fetch ../../repo1 # FAILURE

_Case 2:_

|
|_repo1
|
\_temp
     |
     \_repo2

cd temp/repo2 git fetch ../../repo1 # SUCCESS

For sure, one can argue that I should better organize my file tree ;-)
