Simply forgotten; it might be _correct_ but it is not important.

While it may technically be correct that the command could be
run from anywhere, repack is a whole repository operation, and
it is an operation performed not that often.  There is no reason
to forbid it to run from subdirectories, but it does not hurt
users much if it did.

Will queue for "next" and push it out before 1.4.3 if I do not
forget it again ;-).
