Yeah, that text is pretty confusing. Thanks for finding it.
The intent was:
Show the path to the git repository database (usually $GIT_DIR or
".git"). When relative, this path is relative to the current
directory.
The point of that last part is that this is relative to the cwd when
rev-parse is called and not relative to the top level of the worktree.
