Hi,

I assume this is a way of passing the prefix in?  In that case, I
think a good UI would be

	git rev-parse --prefix=Documentation/ <usual rev-parse args>

That sounds like a useful thing and would make the meaning very clear.

How does this interact with the following options?

 * --resolve-git-dir some/relative/path
 * master:./path

As for the patch itself, I haven't looked at it closely.  My only
immediate reaction is that I wish it touched Documentation/ and t/. :)

Hope that helps,
Jonathan
