yadm list [-a]: extra option for absolute paths

[ferdinandyb]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

When doing yadm list -a files paths are given relative to the work tree (?, my knowledge of git is limited so I'm not sure that is the write word), i.e $HOME in the default case. If you want to use this to pass files to other programs and you are NOT in $HOME, you somehow have to prepend $HOME to the listed paths, otherwise they point to non-existing files. A specific use-case: I have a shortcut in vim, that uses fzf to choose from and open one of my dotfiles, so I currently need to wrap the yadm list -a command:

#!/bin/bash

function _yadm_list_all(){
  yadm list -a | while read -r  line; do
    echo $HOME/$line
  done
}

_yadm_list_all

I guess if $HOME is not the base, than you'd somehow have to get that from git.

Describe the solution you'd like

An extra flag to yadm list (maybe f?), so that yadm list -af lists the files with their absolute path. And for symmetry, yadm list -f would list absolute paths for the files tracked below the current directory.

Describe alternatives you've considered

It's not hard to write your own wrapper :)

This would be very helpful for supplying lists to fuzzy finders, esp nvim telescope. If it is acceptable to re-open I will submit a pull request for this change

Since this was closed due to inactivity, I doubt a PR would be a problem.
