An svn feature that I used a lot is `svn cat some-file' -- and with
git I can get close to that with `git show :some-file', except that
unlike other paths, it must be an absolute path from the repository
root. I could obviously make up a script that will do it, but that's
just buying myself some time until I find some other command where
I'll want to use it.
It looks like it would be relatively easy to do this, since when I do
specify the relative path I get an error message suggesting the full
one (provided that the relative path is simple -- no ".." etc). So,
now that I can actually UTSL, I went there, and tried some half-assed
hacking -- I made it so "::path" uses the prefix and normalizes the
result, so, for example
cd git/Documentation
git show ::../Documentation/./user-manual.conf
works as expected. Using "::" looks bad IMO, and the hack I did is
likely suffering from some problems, but overall it doesn't look too
hard.
