Requires you to be in Jekyll's site #12

I'm running a post-receive hook on my server in order to build my personal site, parkermoore.de. It runs jekyll build in whatever directory it cares to, and I specify the --source and --destination parameters in the hook. This plugin seems to break when it is executed from outside the site source, which is a problem. Is there a git switch or something that we can use to direct git to the proper git dir?

I wonder if this would work: http://stackoverflow.com/a/3769169/213345

Given that we have access to the context in the plugin, it could always just do git --git-dir <source>.git. Not sure how to test it at the moment.

I thought about that, but hypothetically I should be able to run a jekyll site at any level inside a git repo, so my source (e.g. ./site) may not contain my git dir (./.git)

The internet tells me you can do git rev-parse --show-toplevel to get the top level .git container dir.
