With `git rev-parse`, you can change `--path-format` on the command line
between options, so if you want both, you just request one thing, use
`--path-format`, and then request the other.  However, that can't be
done with `git repo` and `--path-format`.

Hmph, that is one advantage of that incremental option handling done
by "rev-parse", which often is a source of confusion and complaints,
though ;-)

Short question: Is using format modifier like (%path:relative), 
(%path:absolute) a good solution here? I think it can be implemented by 
simply adding a path parsing function in ref-filter.c (and some other 
work that aren't particularly challenging).

It should be user-friendly, readable and free of global flags, right? :-]

What command are we talking about now?  Is it a plumbing where
predictability, simplicity and performance matters more than
end-user friendliness?
