What happens in a bare repository?

I'm guessing it's relative to the top-level of the repository,

I just tried it out and it's relative to $PWD.

That is understandable.  When the user says

    $ cmd -O $file

with any option -O that takes a filename, it is most natural if we
used $PWD/$file when $file is not absolute path.
