Indeed, I cannot replicate either. The thing is that "status" is marked
with GIT_SETUP in git.c:
https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/blob/v2.14.3.windows.1/git.c#L465
That means that the setup_git_directory() is run, which sets the current
working directory to the top-level directory.
So there is your explanation why neither Ben nor I saw this.
And I agree with Ben that it is safer to do it the way you suggested, just
in case that the call path comes from a Git command that was not marked
with GIT_SETUP.
Ciao,
Johannes
