My proposal on the darcs-user ML (which IIRC most people agreed with)
was to have
darcs what
print output relative to the repo-root, and without the './' at the start.
alternatively a
darcs what $foo $bar
will print output like
A $foo/baz
M $bar/baz

Effectively all output of a whatsnew with argument dirs will be relative 
to the working dir and therefor will need to be distinctive to have the 
argument in front of all output so its really relative to the current 
dir.

There was an alternative proposal that basically puts a "./" in front of 
every entry in a relative-dir listing to make it distinct that we are now 
listing a current dir.
So;
cd src
darcs whatsnew foo
will print
M ./foo/baz
and darcs whatsnew
will print
M src/foo/baz

Hope this explains the proposal a bit better :)
