As it stands now, yes. But the point being that if people like this, then
I'll just change the git-sh-setup-script accordingly. For example, once
git-diff-tree also does the same thing, then "git-diff-script" would have
no reason left to even call the current git-sh-setup-script at all, since
the git-diff-* commands would basically do the setup _and_ report the
errors that git-sh-setup-script does now.

I don't do that right now, but it's actually very easy to do in the
setup_git_directory() function. It falls out very simply there - both the
"./" and the "../" prefix would make tons of sense to handle there.
Do you want to take the current patch (which buys you very little because
not a lot of stuff has been set up to deal with it, but is the basis for
all future work anyway) or do you want me to polish it up a bit and
re-submit the whole thing?
I'd do at least the "git-diff-tree" part and the "./" and "../" handling,
and convert at least the "git diff" thing to the new world order and away
from git-sh-setup-script?
