Subject: Add run_command_v_opt_cd: chdir into a directory before exec
X-Git-Tag: v1.5.3-rc0~186^2~2
X-Git-Url: https://git.tokkee.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=1568fea01eb25a293f8dae570a31ca34d41b5442;p=git.git

Add run_command_v_opt_cd: chdir into a directory before exec

It can make code simplier (no need to preserve cwd) and safer
(no chance the cwd of the current process is accidentally forgotten).
