implements #838

When the current root of the displayed tree is a git repository and you select it, the current value is an empty string. Wouldn't it be more useful to have . instead ?

Similar question when the current root is the parent of a git repository and you select it: the current value is the path to that directory. I think a value of . would be better too.

For my use case I would like it to work as {file} does, unless into a git repo where I want the relative path. I define it in a shortcut to be able to get references to a file:line and then send it to colleagues. Therefore, it is convenient to be relative to git root. For all the other cases I want it to be like {file}. What would be the use case, where I would like to get a .? I can't think of any. So my preferences for your questions would be the same, get the full path to the directory. ( same as {file} ).

This will be included in the next release, hopefully this week-end
