Is it supposed to be normal ?!
I mean : OK I can use git-remote, but this leads to differents results=20
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

=46or sure, one can argue that I should better organize my file tree ;-=
