The current Git-based project that I am working on, I am generally always in a sub-directory.
Below is the output when I run the command git log --name-only from a sub-directory of the root of the repository.

This makes diffing the files listed really easy, by just copying the file path and running git diff HEAD~ {copied_file_path} rather than having to modify the file path manually and then run the command.
