My usual setup runs in hybrid mode (using the wording used in this blog post), which causes the branch overview as well as the quick help window to switch to pure relative mode. Within quick help this also causes the lines to be truncated.
Though it's easy to work around this, it might be appropriate to disable relativenumber as well. This is done e.g. in fugitive's blame window, NERDTree and DeFx (just searched for some plugins which create conceptually similar windows) already.
