The problem is, prefix is meant for inside worktree area only. Many code paths are not ready for prefix "../". Worse, in some cases when you launch outside worktree, prefix is empty and I think some builtin commands rely on that. However, I think you can introduce "prefix v2" that is used in parallel with "prefix v1". -- Duy -- 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
