So, in part, I'm not 100% sure. In our use case, it depends on what git
is being used for.

Something like "checkpatch.pl -g HEAD", we would like to target the
local repository. Where as camelcase, we'd like to target the --root
repository.

What if, instead of this, we opt to use the local .git for camelcase
only when $root is non-empty? That way, if --root is applied, camcel
case seeding always uses --root, rather than the local tree.

Something like:

if (-e ".git" && $root eq "") for this block, so then we fall through to
the non-git style instead?

Probably poorly. I suspect it would end up looking at GIT_DIR instead of
$root/.git, despite the cd.

Thanks,
