From: Elijah Newren <newren@xxxxxxxxx>
Allowing rebase, cherry-pick and revert to run from subdirectories
inevitably leads to eventual user confusion. For example, if they
are within a directory that was created by one of the patches being
rebased, then the rebase operation could hit a conflict before the
directory is restored leading the user to be running from a directory
that no longer exists. Similarly with cherry-pick and revert, those
operations could result in the directory being removed.
Similar to bisect, simply require that these commands be run from the
toplevel to avoid such problems.

rebase, cherry-pick, revert: only run from toplevel
Allowing rebase, cherry-pick and revert to run from subdirectories
inevitably leads to eventual user confusion. For example, if they are
within a directory that was created by one of the patches being rebased,
then the rebase operation could hit a conflict before the directory is
restored leading the user to be running from a directory that no longer
exists. Similarly with cherry-pick and revert, those operations could
result in the directory being removed.

toplevel to avoid such problems.
