If it is for "rev-parse --git-dir", the calling script may learn the correct location of the GIT_DIR with either relative or absolute, but if it is for the internal consumption of git process itself and any subprocess forked from us that look at GIT_DIR we export, the process already runs at the repository root (because you do not chdir back) and using relative path does not make much sense. Exported GIT_DIR has to be either "." or the full path from the root to make sense to such a user, I think. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
