For the same reason that I like git-merge-file, and git-diff2, namely to have a _sane_ tool with a lot of options, which works the same everywhere I have git, I also like git-apply. And I use git-apply to apply patches way more often than "patch" these days. And I _think_ that it is a feature that it does not cd-up before trying to apply the stuff. In git.git, I cannot think of a reasonable use case for applying something not relative-to-root, but I had that use case in some other (git-tracked) project. So my vote is to leave the cwd where it is in git-apply.
