Is there a practical difference with the above with

	context_dir=$(pwd)

other than that it will give an empty string outside a git working tree?

If not, I suspect

	local inside

	inside=$(__git rev-parse --is-inside-work-tree) &&
	test "$inside" = true || return

	local context_dir=$(pwd)

might be clearer on the intent.

Can $context_dir contain $IFS whitespaces here?
