Dear all,
I am facing a problem, noted previously in
http://git.661346.n2.nabble.com/git-alias-always-chdir-to-top-td1609456.html
http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/git/2010/5/5/29818/thread
which in practice means that I cannot pass the " --
relative_path_to_some_file_in_the_tree" argument to my alias.
Is there any way to get the current working dir before git changes dir
to root directory?
Best regards,
Matej

Also, revisiting that topic after 1.7.5 seems worthwhile. Michael ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread

I had only tried "pwd = !env" to check the environment which is passed (and that has the PWD from the subdir). So, I guess you'd need to have a second look at that topic.
