Agreed.

Maybe there's a third way. darcs could output (note the space):

jean at klippie tuxlabs $ darcs whatsnew
{
hunk repodir/a/b/c/ currentdir/d/e/cookbook.dbk.xml 40
-    <emphasis>tuXlab</emphasis> after the Linux mascot,
...

Or have one line mentioning where we are relative to the repodir,
and have subsequent filenames start from the current dir.

I really don't like the idea of paths shown being unusable from
where I am now without having to adjust them to my position relative
to the repo dir.
