This is really partly a serious patch, but also just a query whether

So you can be in linux/drivers, and if you do a

	git-diff-files -p char

then it will automatically be turned into the full pathname, and do the
right thing (ie do a diff of drivers/char only).

I've had missed this feature a lot, since quilt has been working this
way.  now I can close just-for-git terminal.(tm)
