On the other hand cd '' is equivalent to not cd'ing at all so there's precedent to change this). For the second step, you'll need to find the bit of code where the -C option is handled and add a special case for the empty string to do what came out of the discussion about wanted behavior. -- Dennis Kaarsemaker www.kaarsemaker.net -- 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
