That is fun. And doing
$ mkdir -p git/objects
just before you create and chdir into subdir does tell me that the
last "cd ../.git/objects" is turned into "cd ../git/objects".
Actually, with that extra thing, changing the last one to
$ cd ../..git/objects
still takes me to ../git/objects, it seems. But lookie here:
$ cd ../.....git/objects
ksh: cd: /var/tmp/x/ksh/...git/objects: [No such file or directory]
WAT.
I am tempted to say that we should write it off as utterly broken.
