notfixed 561727 1:1.6.0-1 fixed 561727 1:1.6.5.3-1 tags 561727 + patch lenny upstream fixed-upstream thanks
Hi, Thanks for the report. This bug was introduced by v1.5.5-rc0~137^2~2 (help: use parseopt, 2008-02-24), so it does not apply to etch. It was fixed by v1.6.5.3~34 (help -a: do not unnecessarily look for a repository, 2009-09-04), so fortunately it does not apply to squeeze any more, either. See <http://bugs.debian.org/539273>. Of course, the bug is present in lenny.

As Anders said, since git 1.6.0, it makes sense to set GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES to prevent this for all git commands. But the case you mentioned, where git is run from the bash completion script, is a bit of a special case. There is no reason for 'git help -a' to ever look for a git repository. Gerrit, do you think this is worth fixing through pu? I would be glad to prepare an upload if you think so, but I would not be the one maintaining it.
