I might be wrong, the way it's worded makes it somewhat ambiguous in
the case where the path to the file doesn't start with a /, since all
its examples involve a leading / :) The way it's worded to me says
that if it has a/b as a relative path and you do -p0, it should strip
the a but leave the / alone, but I'd need to test that. Not really a
big concern though.
