I never thought you would think "showing relative to tree-root" is even an
option.

I assume you mean "not filtering relative to tree-root"?

Sorry, I may have been unclear.  I meant "showing relative to tree-root,
unlike showing relative to cwd like we have done forever".

Changing the behaviour would affect usage like this:

	$ cd some/where
        $ git ls-files
        $ git ls-tree --name-only -r HEAD^

    cf. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/13028/focus=13080

  Yes, as I said, by now I agree that this is not acceptable, and thus
opted for just documenting the behaviour. :-)
