Hi Dmitry,

I'm looking into this.

I think all paths should be relative to user-specified targets.

In the case where we show newly added items we need to use parent paths
internally. These ended up being used for diff output, too, which is
wrong in my opinion.

If you want to help you can test and review the patch below. Thanks!

I am currently running tests over all ra layers with this patch and
should have results in a while.

(sorry, no log message yet -- not enough time right now)
