Yes... I was hoping to avoid diving back into the WebKitTools directory :/

It seems like the right fix is to modify the code that applies individual diffs
to change to the right directory, apply the diff, and then change back.  Then
no extra global state or preprocessing is required.

A simple version of "the right directory" is to just move to the repository
root, while a more complex one would be to try each directory on the way up the
chain from the current directory.  This second method would make
subtree-relative patches work too.
