Subject: Difference in how "git status" and "git diff --name-only" lists filenames
Message-ID: <bf7b2dda0712020604x209d6665i9ab58b32834b2cee@mail.gmail.com>

A while ago 'git status' was patched to report relative pathnames.  (I
like that change it makes cut'n'paste easier.)  However, 'git diff
--name-only' and 'git diff --name-status' (other commands as well),
which gives in a sense similar output has not been changed the same
way.  Is this intentionally, or just because no one has stepped up and
provided a patch?  If the difference is to stay, maybe this should be
reflected in the help texts to avoid any confusion.
