Quoting Junio C Hamano [off-list ref]
We could probably declare "In 1.X.0 everything will be relative to the
root and you have to give an explicit '.' if you mean the cwd".
Three questions:
#1 What are the commands that will be affected, other than "add -u" and
"grep"? Are there others?
#2 Do all the commands in the answer to #1 currently behave exactly the
same when run without any path parameter and when run with a single
'.'?
'git-archive' behaves relative to your current directory.

You can limit it to the current directory with a dot.
