Subject: add status.relativePaths config variable
X-Git-Tag: v1.5.4-rc0~50
X-Git-Url: https://granicus.if.org/sourcecode?a=commitdiff_plain;h=46f721c8fee9f1c027f96e2bf987ce6e7d05ab94;p=git

add status.relativePaths config variable

The output of git-status was recently changed to output relative
paths. Setting this variable to false restores the old behavior for
any old-timers that prefer it.
