Documenting it that way feels like ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I feel it should be made consistently relative to top of work tree. Seems fairly unlikely that any scripts driving git rely on it being relative to the pwd when GIT_WORK_TREE etc is set. (I'd prefer relative to pwd because that is much more sane IMHO, but making that change is more likely to break something.) -- see shy jo
