Subject: Behaviour of git apply --directory
Message-ID: <E21BC0F8-2DF0-44AB-B18A-013451CDB670@sentex.net>

Hi,

The behaviour of git apply --directory seems a little confusing. It looks to be dependent on the current directory, but I can't use relative paths to apply a patch in one directory to a sibling directory. Absolute paths don't work either. I'd expected the parameter to either be relative to the git repository root, or to expand relative directories.

Any thoughts?
