Thanks for a pointer. I see Mike responded to this message (I haven't had a chance to read and think about it yet), so I trust that you three can figure out if these are the same issues and what the final solution in the longer term should be.

I have no strong opinion for or against a "longer term" solution that makes "rev-parse --git-path" behave differently from how it behaves today, but I am not yet convinced that we can reach that longer term goal without a transition period, as I suspect there are existing users that know and came to expect how it behaves, based on its today's behaviour. Other than that I do not have suggestion on this topic at the moment.

Thanks.
