Tested, and looks good.

Now that I play with it, though, it seems that a few other bits of git
need updating to handle relative paths okay:

$ cd gitweb/test
$ rm ../../wt-status.h
    [oops, what a silly thing to do -- better checkout the latest
revision of it]
$ git status
# On branch next
# Changed but not updated:
#   (use "git add/rm <file>..." to update what will be committed)
#
#       deleted:    ../../wt-status.h
no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")
$ git checkout HEAD ../../wt-status.h
fatal: git-ls-files: cannot generate relative filenames containing '..'
    [grr....]
$ cd ../..
$ git checkout HEAD .
    [that works]
