If I am allowed to to some load thinking: The commit msh header says: reject input that touches outside $cwd The commit message says: By default, a patch that affects outside the working area And the new command line option is this: --unsafe-paths (Which may be a good choice to pretend people from using it without having read the documentaion) (And isn't working area the same as "work space" ?) I have the slight feeling that there may be more unsafe-path situations coming up in the future.. Will --allow-outside-ws or --patch-outside-ws be better ? -- 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
