Hi,
I found a bug in git fetch, with local repositories.
git fetch works fine from the root directory, but it fails when called
from deeper into the file tree of the repository.
git push fails the same way.
The bug is on 1.7.7.rc2 and on master.
mkdir repo1
cd repo1
git init .
mkdir d
touch d/f
git add d/f
git commit -m'initial commit'
cd ..
git clone repo1 repo2
cd repo2
git fetch ../repo1 # OK
cd d
git fetch ../../repo1 # failed
fatal: '../../repo1' does not appear to be a git repository
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

It has always been like this. You can give a full path to the repository
from the root, or perhaps define a nickname to refer to the remote (see
"git remote add") and use it instead.

Is it supposed to be normal ?!
I mean : OK I can use git-remote, but this leads to differents results
for similar usages and similar commands.
Let's compare following cases :
_Case 1:_
|
|_repo1
| |
| \_dir
|
\_repo2
|
\_dir
cd repo2/dir
git fetch ../../repo1 # FAILURE
_Case 2:_
|
|_repo1
|
\_temp
|
\_repo2
cd temp/repo2
git fetch ../../repo1 # SUCCESS
For sure, one can argue that I should better organize my file tree ;-)
