In messsing around with hooks, I've discovered that not all hooks are run in the same environment. In particular, the current working directory in the post-receive hook (maybe others as well) is the GIT_DIR (.git) directory, instead of the root of the working tree (as in pre-commit). This wouldn't be so bad, but it seems that `git rev-parse --show-cdup` does not show anything valid if your current working directory is inside the .git dir. This creates a scenario where there is no consistent way to access the root of the working tree from within a hook. To make things worse, the behavior changes subtly whether $GIT_DIR is defined or not. I've got a patch that changes the current working directory before calling the post-receive hook, but that's more of a workaround than a fix. I'd like to be able to run `git rev-parse --show-cdup` from with a .git directory and have it produce a valid result. So: I'm poking around around and trying to find the right answer but some things look weird. If anyone knows the quick-and-easy answer here please let me know. Otherwise, I'll continue to poke around some more.
