Not necessarily. My primary use of "git show <tree-ish>:<path>" (yes, I already use the dash-less form ;-) is in _bare_ repositories. And I still maintain that expecting <tree-ish>:<path> to take the current relative path into account would be just like if you expected C:\> cd WINDOWS C:\WINDOWS> dir D:system32 to show you the contents of D:\WINDOWS\system32. Or another, less Windowsy example: $ cd /usr/bin $ scp home:bash ./ No, this does not copy home:/usr/bin/bash but home:$HOME/bash.
