Output of restic version

# restic version
restic 0.7.3
compiled with go1.9 on linux/amd64

How did you run restic exactly?

# cat /etc/restic/files.include 
/etc/letsencrypt
/etc/nginx
/etc/ssh
/var/www/nextcloud
/var/data/nextcloud
# cat /etc/restic/files.exclude
# restic backup --files-from /etc/restic/files.include --exclude-file /etc/restic/files.exclude

What backend/server/service did you use?

swift on openstack, also tried with b2.

Expected behavior

Paths are named using an absolute path name, I excepted the full paths to be present in the backup.

Actual behavior

Paths are actually stored using the last part of the path. This causes duplication is my case, for instance:

# restic mount tmp/
Now serving the repository at tmp/
Don't forget to umount after quitting!

# ls -1 tmp/snapshots/2017-10-09T16\:25\:42Z/                                                                                    
letsencrypt
nextcloud
nextcloud-1
nginx
ssh

Do you have an idea how to solve the issue?

I would like an option to store found files under paths with only the leading / removed, mimicking for instance the way that tar handles paths. This makes it easier to find files.
