[PATCH] Deduce exec_path also from calls to git with a relative path

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



There is already logic in the git wrapper to deduce the exec_path from
argv[0], when the git wrapper was called with an absolute path.  Extend
that logic to handle relative paths as well.

For example, when you call "../../hello/world/git", it will not turn
"../../hello/world" into an absolute path, and use that.

Initial implementation by Scott R Parish.

	That is a little short for a commit message ;-)

	I had commented on this before.  Probably I did a very bad job 
	at explaining things, so hopefully this is better:
