Re: something fishy with Git commit and log from file

Luciano,

I got:

(gdb) p (char *)getwd(malloc(2048))
$3 = 0x903680 "/home/obry/dev/repositories/git/AWS"

And this is not the directory I was in. It is the Git root. I was under 
/home/obry/dev/repositories/git/AWS/regtests when running the command.

So definitely a Git bug! Can be reproduced with:

    $ mkdir repo && cd repo
    $ git init
    $ mkdir dir
    $ cd dir
    $ echo file > file
    $ echo log > log
    $ git add file
    $ git commit --file=log
    fatal: could not read log file 'log': No such file or directory
