I think it's way too big of a back-compat issue to swap the meaning of those flags. We could maybe make some new aliases for those flags, something like |
cc #839 Having the ability to match relative paths would also be helpful. In fact, I'd say it's very rare to ever want to match an absolute path when in some directory, since that prefix is common to everything you're searching for. |

I think
--full-path
is way more intuitive to print the full path while--absolute-path
is more intuitive to match absolute (full) paths. I don't know, maybe it's because it's often used in other tools that way?I just searched the man page for half an hour because of this.
