Isn't this the same, conceptually, as trying to remove the root
directory, but from a Git perspective?

i.e. Something along the lines of
https://superuser.com/questions/542978/is-it-possible-to-remove-the-root-directory
(their answer is 'no' without a special option, default since 2006)

If I read the arguments correctly, Elijah is saying that Git shouldn't
delete it's own root (cwd) directory, and that it is already implicit
within the current Git code.
