The alias 'git locate' and the command 'git ls-files' runs
differently if I run them in a subdirectory.
Is it expected?

I just ran into this (I wanted to alias 'git find' but to me the 'run
ls-files from cwd' is desirable. Also, I prefer to have a trailing
glob as well, so I added one :). An easy solution is to drop
'git-find' in your path somewhere:

I have finally settled on:

[alias]
   locate = !sh -c 'git ls-files | grep --color=auto "$1"' -

Actually could someone help me with this.. the trouble is that this
returns paths relative to the root.

Can I get it to find all the files, but relative to where I am now?

Make it a git command, not an alias. You'll then be fine. put
git-locate somewhere in your $PATH

--<--
#!/bin/sh
git ls-files | grep --color=auto "$1"
--<--

Of course you need to chmod u+x for it.
