Yes, that would be required. On the other hand, currently it is
impossible to cut-n-paste a file name without --full-name, since the
pager is always started in top-level. Perhaps it is better to fix the
latter?
So far we never cared where the pager runs, but as a principle, I
think it would be nice if we run it in the original subdirectory,
not at the top of the working tree (unless we have to bend backwards
to make the codepath involved too ugly, that is).
Don't we have the exact same issue for the editor, by the way?
Shouldn't we be running it in the original subdirectory as well?
