Not the git I use (1.8.3.2).  I'm two levels deep in my repo:

  $ git status
#	../run.txt
#	../tape1conv.log
#	tape1conv.log
...
nothing added to commit but untracked files present (use "git add" to track)

That's what I like: file lists relative to my view (pwd)!

But I agree that I can alias any required switch to get what I
want--if it's available, of course.

Have you access to a survey indicating that?
