Subject: list_commands(): simplify code by using chdir()
X-Git-Tag: v1.5.4-rc0~294^2~3
X-Git-Url: https://asedeno.scripts.mit.edu/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=0966003c8e8d1528912b10667b903cd981e3a7f6;p=git.git

The current code builds absolute path strings for each file to
stat(), this can easily be avoided by chdir()ing into the directory.
