I wonder if an option similar to how the -p switch too patch works might 
be a good fit?
The default value would be 0, leaving the path unchanged. A special 
value of -1 might give the basename behaviour, while any other positive 
value would strip off that number of leading directories (capped to the 
basename behaviour).
