"--show-toplevel" does not print anything when you do not have a working tree, and you do not have one if you are inside the .git directory. If you were to do: cd .git git --work-tree=.. rev-parse --show-toplevel (or use GIT_WORK_TREE, or set core.worktree, etc), you would get back the toplevel of the working tree. -Peff -- 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
