I thought we cd into the repository in the middle of clone somewhere, 
before running stuff. In any case, I think it would be good to have 
something like that, but I think maybe we should tell it where it can put 
its status files, rather than telling it where the .git dir is. It would 
also be nice if this is the absolute path that gfi will base a relative 
path for the "marks" options on when importing.
