Don't we have the same problem with "git show"? If you go into
the "gitweb" directory of the GIT source, "git show HEAD:README" will
show you the toplevel "README" instead of the one in the "gitweb"
directory.

No, git show has different semantics. It has been discussed often in
this list.

You are half correct --- it is not show but tree:path syntax.
