I did mean ls-tree, but I misspelled the name of the escape hatch.

Try this:

    $ cd Documentation
    $ git ls-tree HEAD

If I were designing this as a proper plumbing command from scratch, I
wouldn't have given it a cwd behaviour.  ls-files is somewhat more
understandable, as it has other cruft relating the work tree, but ls-tree
is worse:

    $ cd Documentation
    $ git ls-tree origin/html

Whoa???  Yes, it tried to do what "git ls-tree origin/html:Documentation"
would have done if it were unaware of cwd.  It's just crazy.

If "git add -u ../.." (I mean "the grand parent directory", not "an
unnamed subdirectory") did not work, it would be unexcusable and we would
want to devise an migration path, but otherwise I do not think it is such
a big deal.  I would say the commands that are used to incrementally build
As I mentioned above, not only is that annoying to use, but the real
problem is that I _expect_ the other behavior and it silently does the
opposite of what I want. You can argue that my brain is defective (for
not remembering, I mean -- we _know_ it's defective in other ways), but
certainly a config option would be useful to me.
At this moment (as my brain is not quite functioning), I can only say we
agreed to disagree what feels more natural here.

Oh, I never noticed that behavior before. For "ls-files", I think it is
at least a little sane, but it makes no sense whatsoever for ls-tree.

I agree that we agreed to disagree. But there is still one open
question: would you take a patch for a "full-tree" config variable that
would impact add (and probably grep) for 1.7.0? You can sleep on it if
you want. ;)

[PATCH 1/2] grep: accept relative paths outside current working directory

From: Clemens Buchacher <hidden>

I just noticed that this doesn't work with grep. In git.git:

$ cd t
$ git grep addremove -- ../
fatal: git grep: cannot generate relative filenames containing '..'

So here's a fix for that. And a configurable solution for add and grep's
scope as a follow-up. I did not look at any other commands yet.

Previously, "git grep" would bark at relative paths pointing outside
the current working directory (or subdirectories thereof). We already
have quote_path_relative(), which can handle such cases just fine. So
use that instead.

Ok, scrape that. Seems validate_pathspec does that implicitly already. So
this code was redundant. The attached patch should now work (I tested it
this time...).

It also seems that "git add -A" doesn't work without a pathspec any more?
Was that intentional?
