It has been a few weeks since this discussion stalled.  Let me make
an executive decision on the direction here---let's keep the behaviour
and align the documentation so that we won't break existing users.

Thanks.

So here is to re-ignite the discussion.

Subject: [PATCH] archive: document that --add-virtual-file takes full path

And it seems that nobody is interested in the topic all that much
anymore?

I'm low-key pleased to see a documentation bug being stomped.

Perhaps this saps the energy out of efforts to make --add-virtual-file
respect --prefix, but we'd probably need a new option name for that
anyway to keep backward compatibility (--add-prefix-file?), so the patch
adds no technical obstacle for that at least.

I've read the updated text once again, and didn't see anything
glaringly wrong, so I'll mark it for 'next'.

The patch looks good to me.  I like the new paragraph about --prefix not
being respected, in particular because I wouldn't thought of adding it,
but it does look helpful.

Perhaps add a Reported-by: line for Tom that's findable with trailer
tooling, though?
