[PATCH] Allow GIT_DIR to be an absolute path

Johannes Schindelin· Nov 6, 2005, 23:36 UTC · lore

This fixes a problem in safe_create_leading_directories() when the argument starts with a '/' (i.e. the path is absolute).

	I did not thoroughly check if there are more places where a 
	relative path is assumed. Could well be the only one.
