this looks strange indeed. You should try debugging DVcsJob::start and see 
whether e.g. setting the environment has an effect on the workingdir set for 
the process.

Otherwise maybe Aleix has some info as he worked on the git support.

Hope we can find out why this is not working :)

Btw, where do we find your sourcecode? It would be cool if you could develop 
that in the open from the start, esp. so we can look at your sources when you 
have a problem.

bye
