48 # fatal: 'origin': unable to chdir or not a git archive
49 # fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
51 # because git would find the .git/config for the "trash directory"
52 # repo, not for the clone-repo repo. The "trash directory" repo
53 # had no entry for origin. Git found the wrong .git because
54 # git rev-parse --show-cdup printed a path relative to
55 # clone-repo/subdir/, not subdir-link/. Git rev-parse --show-cdup
56 # used the correct .git, but when the git pull shell script did
57 # "cd `git rev-parse --show-cdup`", it ended up in the wrong
58 # directory. A POSIX shell's "cd" works a little differently
59 # than chdir() in C; "cd -P" is much closer to chdir().
