-Fugitive cares about the current file, not the current working directory.

-commands like `:split` and `:tabedit` over commands like `:new` and `:tabnew`.

+
+> Why is `:Gbrowse` not using the right browser?
+
+`:Gbrowse` delegates to `git web--browse`, which is less than perfect
+when it comes to finding the right browser.  You can tell it the correct
+browser to use with `git config --global web.browser ...`.  On OS X, for
+example, you might want to set this to `open`.  See `git web--browse --help`
