Which will not work for all cases because some apss might be using
something like this: Calling apps relative to current bin directory:

exec $(dirname $0)/other-app

So you may fix git-gui but you may break others.
So should an option be created eg:

  wrap --keep-name # use .orig/name
  wrap --keep-path # use .name-wrapped

?
