Description Matt Woodrow 2023-09-12 18:38:27 PDT

Running export-w3c-tests fails for me with a bunch of lint errors of the form 'file matches an ignore filter in .gitignore'.

It seems that for some reason it ends up passing our new test files to `git check-ignore --stdin' such that the contents of the test file is interpreted as a list of files to check against the ignore list.

Using the web-platform-tests directory as the CWD fixes this issue.
