Hi,

How about changing *that*? Like, define a GIT_CWD_PREFIX, and checking in the C parts?

After all, the biggest problem with the scripts in a subdirectory is that they do not necessarily know which parameter means what, i.e. when to prefix it and when not.

A small helper a là git_path() should do, right?

Ciao, Dscho
