If I am allowed to to some load thinking:

The commit msh header says:
  reject input that touches outside $cwd

The commit message says:
   By default, a patch that affects outside the working area

And the new command line option is this:
   --unsafe-paths
(Which may be a good choice to pretend people from using it without
   having read the documentaion)

(And isn't working area the same as "work space" ?)

I have the slight feeling that there may be more unsafe-path situations coming up in the future..

Will --allow-outside-ws or --patch-outside-ws be better ?
