Re: `git log relative_path_to_object` does not respect the --work-tree path

Hi Roberto,

When passing objects to the `git log`, by just naming them or using

working directory instead of the current working tree path.
Why should they be relative to the worktree root?  When you use
relative paths within a worktree, they are not relative to the
worktree root.  For example, the following works within a clone of
git.git:

	$ cd Documentation
	$ git log git.txt

You might be looking for 'git -C <directory>', which chdirs to the
named directory so paths are relative to there.

Hope that helps,
Jonathan
