Ok, I now recall this bit:
You are right, now that I understand the issue better, there's no good
fix for this except perhaps introducing --no-prefix, which is not my
itch to scratch. Here's my original wording improvement:
Note that if you are within a subdirectory of your working copy,
'git ls-tree' will automatically prepend the subdirectory prefix
to the specified paths, and assume the prefix specified in case
no paths were given - no matter what the tree object is! Thus,
within a subdirectory, 'git ls-tree' behaves as expected only
when run on a root tree object.
Eventually somebody may write a Porcelain that benefits from --no-prefix,
but it is safe to defer the implementation until the need becomes real.
I'll add some explanatory message to the documentation.
