Fixes #28888.
Informs zd#15320.
Prior to this patch, running any
cockroach
subcommand on a permissionless cwd would fail in two ways:This patch changes the former to delay initialization of the configuration until an actual server command is executed; and the latter to tolerate a permissionless cwd.
Release note (bug fix): It is now possible to run
cockroach version
andcockroach start
(and possibly other sub-commands) when the user running the command does not have permission to access the current working directory.Release justification: bug fix to reduce operational friction
