(a) In a bare repository, I believe 
setup.c:setup_git_directory_gently() determines the prefix to be 
NULL.  This means my patch will see ALL paths as absolute, except 
:../path which will result in an error.

My point was that it feels inconsistent to take the current path into 
account in one case, but not in the other.

I do not understand your reasoning.  In a bare repository you cannot 
even be in a subdirectory to begin with.

Exactly! That is my point. If you can do it in a working directory, but 
also with a bare repository, I find it highly confusing and inconsistent 
to have different meaning.

Sorry.  Now you confused me further.  I can do:

	cd Documentation
        git diff v1.5.0 v1.5.1 -- git.txt

Is that confusing, inconsistent and bad for the users?
