Indeed, the error was misleading. Thank you for reporting this!
I will commit the fix.

All path are displayed relative to the work tree root. This is simply
a design decision and it is done consistently across all commands.
For example, got diff . also shows paths relative to the work tree root.
In my opinion, showing full paths provides important information, especially
in patch files.
