Note that the docs say:

  --file-ids-from will try to use the file ids from the supplied path.
  It looks up ids trying to find a matching parent directory with the
  same filename, and then by pure path. This option is rarely needed
  but can be useful when adding the same logical file into two
  branches that will be merged later (without showing the two different
  adds as a conflict). It is also useful when merging another project
  into a subdirectory of this one.

It should perhaps say, as you just did,

    --file-ids-from will try to use the file ids from the supplied tree.

or similar to draw a clearer distinction between 'tree/repo' and
'path/directory'.
