Ok. Yes, it 's kind of tricky. But the `-- <path>` does both things. `-- <path>` looks for the relative path within the current directory but defaults to the work-tree root if your current directory does not belong to the repo.
About `git -C <dir>`, awesome feature, I love that, but it's not my point. (and I'm actually maintaining the ruby-git gem, supporting git >= 1.6 T_T) I really appreciate your feedback.
