That's fine by me.

The patch is my way of saying that I'm not just whining, but that I'm
willing to put some effort into getting this done. I am aware of the issues
you raised in the above message and I was hoping that my patch would help us
as a starting point to move the discussion forward.

I can only guess that you mean the "sane way for script writers to defeat
the configuration without much pain" part. But I'm not sure how that's a
problem. If you want the script to continue to work as before you either
configure "workdir scope", or you add a '.' to the affected commands.
