When run from a subdirectory, even though we filtered the output based on where we were using pathspec, we wrote out the repository relative paths, not subtree relative paths. This changes things so that it shows only the current subdirectory relative paths.

For example, in Documentation subdirectory of git itself, this used to be the case:

    $ git-ls-tree --name-only HEAD | grep how
    Documentation/git-show-branch.txt
    Documentation/git-show-index.txt
    Documentation/howto-index.sh
    Documentation/howto
But now it does this instead:
    $ git-ls-tree --name-only HEAD | grep how
    git-show-branch.txt
    git-show-index.txt
    howto-index.sh
    howto
There are two things to keep in mind.
1. This shows nothing.
   $ git-ls-tree --name-only HEAD ../ppc/
   This is to make things consistent with ls-files, which
   refuses relative path that goes uplevel.
2. These show things in full repository relative paths.  In this
   case, paths outside the current subdirectory are also shown.
   $ git-ls-tree --name-only --full-name HEAD | grep how
   Documentation/git-show-branch.txt
   Documentation/git-show-index.txt
   Documentation/howto-index.sh
   Documentation/howto
   $ git-ls-tree --name-only --full-name HEAD ../ppc/
   ppc/sha1.c
   ppc/sha1.h
   ppc/sha1ppc.S

The flag --full-name gives the same behaviour as 1.0, so it ought to be the default if we really care about the backward compatibility, but in practice no Porcelain runs ls-tree from a subdirectory yet, and without --full-name is more human friendly, so hopefully the default being not --full-name would be acceptable.

 * This should be the same as what Linus did earlier, only that
   I lost the patch X-<.  My vague recollection says that that
   one did not have --full-name to match what ls-files does,
   though.
   Obviously the "'checkout [--|tree] path' from subdirectory"
   patch needs to pass --full-name to ls-tree if we are going to
   do this.
