I guess using git -C option to specify path would be simpler, and
marginally more portable.
I'd probably do something like:
find /path/to/root -type d -name .git -exec git -C \{\}/.. pull \;
This has the advantage of syncing nested gits (if there are any), though
you might want to use maxdepth if your source trees are complex.
For that matter, you might want to look at git submodules.
