I see many "cd" in the script, some of which come before the global
exclude file is enabled, but others ("--stdin from subdirectory",
for example) do run from a subdirectory. It turns out that this
file is used as the value of core.excludesfile. By the time that
file is read in setup_standard_excludes(), presumably we have
already done setup_git_directory() and moved back to the root of the
working tree, so I guess such a change would be harmless.
It somehow makes me feel dirty, though. But that is not a specific
problem to mingw port.
