The intent was: Show the path to the git repository database (usually $GIT_DIR or ".git"). When relative, this path is relative to the current directory. The point of that last part is that this is relative to the cwd when rev-parse is called and not relative to the top level of the worktree. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
