The alias 'git locate' and the command 'git ls-files' runs
differently if I run them in a subdirectory.
Is it expected?

[master] ~/srcs/git[299]$ git locate urls.txt
Documentation/urls.txt
[master] ~/srcs/git[300]$ git ls-files '*urls.txt'
Documentation/urls.txt
[master] ~/srcs/git[301]$ cd t
[master] ~/srcs/git/t[302]$ git locate urls.txt
Documentation/urls.txt
[master] ~/srcs/git/t[303]$ git ls-files '*urls.txt'
[master] ~/srcs/git/t[304]$
