I actually prefer to see the "relative to root" behaviour when it
comes to things like this, that lets you view the things that happen
in the whole-tree context.
I would have to go insane before I start a whole-tree operation like
"git merge" from deep in my tree, but if I happened to do that, e.g.
cd perl/blib/lib/Git/SVN/Memoize
git merge other-branch
I'd rather see that the conflicted path, e.g. builtin/fetch.c,
reported by showing it like the above output, not happening in
../../../../../../builtin/fetch.c which I have to count the
up-dots to know which file it is talking about.
