IOW, even when we _could_ discover the top level of a git-controlled working tree, wouldn't presence of --git-dir that points at elsewhere make $(pwd) and the repository there irrelevant to the operation? I am not suggesting to just drop "nongit" from this test. I am wondering if this is better split into two tests, with and without "nongit" to test different situations. > +' > + > test_done Other than that, looks like good additions to the test coverage. Thanks.
