Junio C Hamano fca416a41e completion: use "git -C $there" instead of (cd $there && git ...)
We have had "git -C $there" to first go to a different directory
and run a Git command without changing the arguments for quite some
time.  Use it instead of (cd $there && git ...) in the completion
script.

This allows us to lose the work-around for misfeatures of modern
interactive-minded shells that make "cd" unusable in scripts (e.g.
end users' $CDPATH taking us to unexpected places in any POSIX
shell, and chpwd functions spewing unwanted output in zsh).

Based on Øystein Walle's idea, which was raised during the
discussion on the solution by Brandon Turner for a problem zsh users
had with RVM which mucks with chpwd_functions in users' environments
(https://github.com/wayneeseguin/rvm/issues/3076).

As $root variable, which is used to direct where to chdir to, is set
to "." based on if $2 to __git_index_files is set (not if it is empty),
the only caller of the function is fixed not to pass the optional $2
when it does not want us to switch to a different directory.  Otherwise
we would end up doing "git -C '' command...", which would not work.

Maybe we would want "git -C '' command..." to mean "do not chdir
anywhere", but that is a spearate topic.

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

	Git - the stupid content tracker

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

"git" can mean anything, depending on your mood.

 - random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not
   actually used by any common UNIX command.  The fact that it is a
   mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
 - stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the
   dictionary of slang.
 - "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually
   works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
 - "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks

Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an
unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations
and full access to internals.

Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public
License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses,
compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus
Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.

Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.

See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see
Documentation/everyday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and
Documentation/git-commandname.txt for documentation of each command.
If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be
read with "man gittutorial" or "git help tutorial", and the
documentation of each command with "man git-commandname" or "git help
commandname".

CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt
("man gitcvs-migration" or "git help cvs-migration" if git is
installed).

Many Git online resources are accessible from http://git-scm.com/
including full documentation and Git related tools.

The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git
mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature
requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read
Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission).
To subscribe to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in
the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are
available at http://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/,
http://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.

The maintainer frequently sends the "What's cooking" reports that
list the current status of various development topics to the mailing
list.  The discussion following them give a good reference for
project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
