I'd rather fix git-fetch to cd to the root of the repo, since it really does not make sense to expect git-fetch to fetch just one subdirectory.

Especially, I am not sure if this change meshes well with this fix a few months ago. commit 4d599e6bb46d6ef3276425af34922fdbf3aac473 Author: Linus Torvalds Date: Thu May 25 08:22:42 2006 -0700 bogus "fatal: Not a git repository" I was just testing that "git ls-remote" change by Junio, and when you're not in a git repository, it gives this totally bogus warning. The _target_ obviously has to be a git repository, but there's no reason why you'd have to be in a local git repo when doing an ls-remote. ```
