Hi, just for information about ksh on Linux and OpenIndiana ksh93 on Debian GNU/Linux 7 (wheezy) $ ksh --version version sh (AT&T Research) 93u+ 2012-02-29 $ git init foo && cd foo Initialized empty Git repository in /var/tmp/foo/.git/ $ (cd .git/objects && ls) info pack $ mkdir subdir && cd subdir $ ls ../.git/objects info pack $ cd ../.git/objects /bin/ksh93: cd: /var/tmp/foo/git/objects: [No such file or directory] ksh93 on OpenIndiana oi_151.1.9 X86 $ ksh --version version sh (AT&T Research) 93t+ 2010-03-05 $ pwd /var/tmp $ git init foo && cd foo Initialized empty Git repository in /var/tmp/foo/.git/ $ (cd .git/objects && ls) info pack $ mkdir subdir && cd subdir $ ls ../.git/objects info pack $ cd ../.git/objects $ pwd /var/tmp/foo/.git/objects Looks like older version (or Solaris version?) of ksh did not have this bug.
