54 # fatal: 'origin': unable to chdir or not a git archive

57 # because git would find the .git/config for the "trash directory"
58 # repo, not for the clone-repo repo. The "trash directory" repo
59 # had no entry for origin. Git found the wrong .git because
60 # git rev-parse --show-cdup printed a path relative to
61 # clone-repo/subdir/, not subdir-link/. Git rev-parse --show-cdup
62 # used the correct .git, but when the git pull shell script did
63 # "cd `git rev-parse --show-cdup`", it ended up in the wrong
64 # directory. A POSIX shell's "cd" works a little differently
65 # than chdir() in C; "cd -P" is much closer to chdir().
