We have had "git -C $there" to first go to a different directory and run a Git command without changing the arguments for quite some time. Use it instead of (cd $there && git ...) in the completion script. This allows us to lose the work-around for misfeatures of modern interactive-minded shells that make "cd" unusable in scripts (e.g. end users' $CDPATH taking us to unexpected places in any POSIX shell, and chpwd functions spewing unwanted output in zsh). Based on Øystein Walle's idea, which was raised during the discussion on the solution by Brandon Turner for a problem zsh users had with RVM which mucks with chpwd_functions in users' environments (https://github.com/wayneeseguin/rvm/issues/3076). As $root variable, which is used to direct where to chdir to, is set to "." based on if $2 to __git_index_files is set (not if it is empty), the only caller of the function is fixed not to pass the optional $2 when it does not want us to switch to a different directory. Otherwise we would end up doing "git -C '' command...", which would not work. Maybe we would want "git -C '' command..." to mean "do not chdir anywhere", but that is a spearate topic.

Contributed Software Although these pieces are available as part of the official git source tree, they are in somewhat different status. The intention is to keep interesting tools around git here, maybe even experimental ones, to give users an easier access to them, and to give tools wider exposure, so that they can be improved faster. I am not expecting to touch these myself that much. As far as my day-to-day operation is concerned, these subdirectories are owned by their respective primary authors. I am willing to help if users of these components and the contrib/ subtree "owners" have technical/design issues to resolve, but the initiative to fix and/or enhance things _must_ be on the side of the subtree owners. IOW, I won't be actively looking for bugs and rooms for enhancements in them as the git maintainer -- I may only do so just as one of the users when I want to scratch my own itch. If you have patches to things in contrib/ area, the patch should be first sent to the primary author, and then the primary author should ack and forward it to me (git pull request is nicer). This is the same way as how I have been treating gitk, and to a lesser degree various foreign SCM interfaces, so you know the drill. I expect that things that start their life in the contrib/ area to graduate out of contrib/ once they mature, either by becoming projects on their own, or moving to the toplevel directory. On the other hand, I expect I'll be proposing removal of disused and inactive ones from time to time. If you have new things to add to this area, please first propose it on the git mailing list, and after a list discussion proves there are some general interests (it does not have to be a list-wide consensus for a tool targeted to a relatively narrow audience -- for example I do not work with projects whose upstream is svn, so I have no use for git-svn myself, but it is of general interest for people who need to interoperate with SVN repositories in a way git-svn works better than git-svnimport), submit a patch to create a subdirectory of contrib/ and put your stuff there. -jc
