That is fun.  And doing

    $ mkdir -p git/objects

just before you create and chdir into subdir does tell me that the
last "cd ../.git/objects" is turned into "cd ../git/objects".

Actually, with that extra thing, changing the last one to

    $ cd ../..git/objects

still takes me to ../git/objects, it seems.  But lookie here:

    $ cd ../.....git/objects
    ksh: cd: /var/tmp/x/ksh/...git/objects: [No such file or directory]

WAT.

I am tempted to say that we should write it off as utterly broken.
