I have a tree like /home/mvaidya/WORKSPACE/nvos/mvaidya-master-100.local/some/folder

I would like to issue come command say "git fetch" from any level of the tree. How can I deduce path of .git folder. Reason I need it as I some application configuration saved in .git/workspace.properties and I need to some action before git fetch.

Thank you and best regards.

Take a look at: $ git rev-parse --cdup
