You may need to give a bit more background of things that seem obvious to
you.
So where is the src directory you are cd'ing to relative to the
directory/repository you are creating?
What is [the name of] the directory you are currently in, etc. ?

Bump? Has anyone had time to look at this?

Hello,
I am trying to run a script to edit multiple commits using 'git rebase
-i --exec ...' and I ran into a strange behavior when I run 'cd'
inside the --exec command and subsequently run a git command. For
example, if the command is 'cd src && git status', then git status
reports as if all files in the repository are deleted.
Example command sequence to reproduce the problem:
# Setup:
touch a
mkdir dir
touch dir/x
git init .
git add --all
git commit -m commit1
git tag base
touch b
git add --all
git commit -m commit2
# Here we go:
git rebase -i --exec 'cd dir && git status' base
# Spawning a sub-shell doesn't help:
git rebase -i --exec '(cd dir && git status)' base
Is this expected behavior or did I found a bug? Is there any
workaround, other than cd'ing to the toplevel directory every time I
want to run a git command when I am inside a subdirectory?
$ git --version
git version 2.17.0
Thanks,
Ondrej Mosnacek
