Subject: [PATCH] Make "git diff" work inside relative subdirectories

We always show the diff as an absolute path, but pathnames to diff are
taken relative to the current working directory (and if no pathnames are
given, the default ends up being all of the current working directory).

Note that "../xyz" also works, so you can do

	cd linux/drivers/char
	git diff ../block

and it will generate a diff of the linux/drivers/block changes.
