Recently, commit f7923a5ece00 ("diff: use skip_to_optional_val()",
2017-12-04) changed how we parsed some diff options, preferring
skip_to_optional_val instead of a more complex skip_prefix() setup.
Unfortunately, this breaks --relative, because of the semantics of
skip_to_optional_val. If no optional_val is given, then the function
puts the empty string "" into the arg. Unfortunately, relative passes in
options->prefix as the location for the optional argument, and expects
this value to remain unchanged if no optional value was given.
This results in breaking --relative when no arguments are provided. This
cascades into many failures of code flow that rely on this.
Partially revert the commit, and restore --relative option parsing to
the previous working code.
Since no tests exist for --relative without options, add a new test
which will help ensure no future regressions.

Actually perform the revert of --relative handling.

I'd expect a moral equivalent of this squashed in when Christian
rerolls the skip-to-optional-val series (with helped-by: attribution
to you, probably). It does not make much sense to leave the initial
breakage like this one in the history.
Thanks.

Quite correct. I'll be sending a patch with just new tests shortly.
Thanks,
