The patch is my way of saying that I'm not just whining, but that I'm willing to put some effort into getting this done. I am aware of the issues you raised in the above message and I was hoping that my patch would help us as a starting point to move the discussion forward. > The first part of the message has some comments related to your patch, by > the way. I can only guess that you mean the "sane way for script writers to defeat the configuration without much pain" part. But I'm not sure how that's a problem. If you want the script to continue to work as before you either configure "workdir scope", or you add a '.' to the affected commands.
