It is correct in the sense that it is not wrong, but we cannot deny that it is much less useful when trying to determine where the new repository was created while reading a transcript that contains an invocation of the 'git init' command. One would need to go back and see where the user in the transcript 'cd'ed to before issuing the command. This episode makes me wonder what other details, not captured in our existing tests, users find useful and have grown accustomed to. Thanks.
