I'm low-key pleased to see a documentation bug being stomped.

Perhaps this saps the energy out of efforts to make --add-virtual-file
respect --prefix, but we'd probably need a new option name for that
anyway to keep backward compatibility (--add-prefix-file?), so the patch
adds no technical obstacle for that at least.

The patch looks good to me.  I like the new paragraph about --prefix not
being respected, in particular because I wouldn't thought of adding it,
but it does look helpful.

Perhaps add a Reported-by: line for Tom that's findable with trailer
tooling, though?
