It seems fine to me.  My only hesitation would be whether this should be
done with an enforced flag of some sort, rather than by simply putting
ALL --no-working-dir in your defaults file.  Actually, I think this would
be best.  It would also seem valuable to add --no-working-dir to commands
like whatsnew, in which case the flag would simply cause them to exit with
failure.

Perhaps these should be --without-working-dir and --with-working-dir?
Hmmm.  I'm not sure I like that better.  My (naming) concern is that people
may confuse --working-dir with --repo-dir in some sense, since they look
parallel.  I can't think of a flag that would make this mistake
impossible... --use-working-dir? One solution to this dilemma would be to
make --no-working-dir not have an opposite.  In reality, if
--no-working-dir is in the defaults file, you aren't practically going to
want to override it on the command line.

But unless someone else objects (speak up!), I think this is worth
implementing, and we can iron out the naming later if necesary.
