Here it is.

Subject: git: run in a directory given with -C option
This is similar in spirit to to "make -C dir ..." and "tar -C dir ...".
It takes more keypresses to invoke git command in a different
directory than the current one without leaving the current
directory:
1. (cd ~/foo && git status)
git --git-dir=~/foo/.git --work-dir=~/foo status
GIT_DIR=~/foo/.git GIT_WORK_TREE=~/foo git status
2. (cd ../..; git grep foo)
3. for d in d1 d2 d3; do (cd $d && git svn rebase); done
While doable the methods shown above are arguably more suitable for
scripting than quick command line invocations.
With this new option, the above can be done with fewer keystrokes:
1. git -C ~/foo status
2. git -C ../.. grep foo
3. for d in d1 d2 d3; do git -C $d svn rebase; done
A new test script is added to verify the behavior of this option with
other path-related options like --git-dir and --work-tree.

+-C <path>::
+ Run as if git was started in <path> instead of the current working
+ directory. When multiple -C options are given, each subsequent
+ non-absolute "-C <path>" is interpreted relative to the preceding "-C
+ <path>".
++
+This option affects options that expect path name like --git-dir and
+--work-tree in that their interpretations of the path names would be
+made relative to the working directory caused by the -C option. For
+example the following invocations are equivalent:
+
+ git --git-dir=a.git --work-tree=b -C c status
+ git --git-dir=c/a.git --work-tree=c/b status
+
-c <name>=<value>::
Pass a configuration parameter to the command. The value
given will override values from configuration files.
