In code it is called "prefix". But I have to ask: So what? Are you suggesting GIT_PREFIX? User expectation is probably more tied to CWD, unless a user knows "rev-parse --show-prefix". I don't care about the name, and GIT_PREFIX may be more systematic. A more important point is the prefix-less case (i.e. we are in topdir): Should GIT_YOUNAMEIT be empty then? I would say yes (just like "rev-parse --show-prefix"), Duy said no. We need a third vote :) Also, we may want to scrap this altogether and do !!-aliases instead (without chdir).
