Is it overly naive by me to expect got diff | got patch to work?

E.g.:
$ cd /usr/src
$ ssh host 'cd /usr/src && got diff master work' | got patch

That is fine of course.

However, when you check out subtrees, it breaks.

E.g.:
$ cd sys        # previously checked out with -p sys
$ ssh host 'cd sys && got diff master work' | got patch

Diff always produces full paths from the repository root.
Patch tries to match paths against the work tree.
Individually that makes sense, but the combination somehow feels
inconsistent.

Hmm.
