Git tries to read .git/config relative to the current directory, and tries to resolve aliases from it. The problem is: if one tries to do this from a subdirectory inside the repo, .git/config is not the right path, and the alias lookup fails. I'll investigate more later. -- Matthieu Moy http://www-verimag.imag.fr/~moy/ -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
