I remember that this was done once, but then users complained that if they 
select only one file from the commit dialog they only want to have the 
filename in the patch, not the path of the whole wc up to that file (that 
guy didn't want to know others those paths to not reveal that information). 
Then others agreed and even wanted that to happen for multi-file selections 
to create a patch. So now it works like this.
Also, you can start a commit dialog by selecting multiple items in the wc, 
so a commit dialog does not have one root path per se, but can have 
multiple 'root' paths.

So, it seems it's just not possible to have it work like all people expect 
or want.

Sure, it would be possible to e.g. use the wc root iff:
* only one path is selected when starting the commit dialog
* multiple files are selected for creating the patch

but then I'm sure users will get confused on why it sometimes works this 
way and sometimes not, and they will come here to complain...
