Hi Charvi
Congratulations on posting your first patch series.

That is an accurate description of why we want to avoid using `cd`
outside of subshells. However this conversion is converting `cd` inside
a subshell to use `git -C`. I think that is worthwhile as it avoids
having to use a subshell but the description should say explain that the
conversion is desirable to avoid the cost of starting a subshell as the
original test does not suffer from the problem described in your commit
message.
Best Wishes
Phillip
