Folks: The --repodir option is documented as "--repodir=DIRECTORY specify the repository directory in which to run". But the way it behaves is more like "the directory in which to run, if that directory is a repository, else recursively search parent directories until you find a repository or else reach the root in which case there is no repository". --Z

Assigning to myself to write a test case to confirm the bug.

Zooko, so I don't have to guess, which command did you observe this behavior with? I know, for example, that "init" doesn't care whether whether --repodir is inside an existing repo or not. It works correctly in both cases.

I believe that this is fixed by Eric's recent patches (which reference issue625 which is a duplicate of this). David
