make addpackage check the current dir is inside of CMSSW_BASE about cms-git-tools HOT 3 OPEN

The code is there, albeit commented. The problem is that at FNAL they have the bad habit of creating the workarea in one place and then work in a directory mounted in a different place which makes that code (and the solution you propose) fail. I'll try to think something smarter.

Ciao Giuliio,

If we don't want to do it by default,
could you please add a switch/option.
I will just need to get a habit to use that option.

Thanks

I find that it can be very creative: I deleted the test release area, started a new one and forgot to do cmsenv. What do you know, there was no failure doing git cms-init etc and it recreated back my old release area tree (well, only the src part of it).
At least no harm in this case
