Now I understand this issue better I'd vote for leaving the relative url
like it is, comment it better in the man page and give a better error
message when that happens. After all this issue only surprised a few
people, mostly due to the lack of information in the error message and
man page, so I'd rather prefer to not change the behavior but the wording.
The "how about this" patch you are voting against (I am neutral by the
way) is a response to your earlier "I have three use cases and the current
implementation is forgetting the third", which in turn was a response to
my "your third use case does not count, so the updated wording of the
documentation is wrong---it should say 'do not', not 'cannot'".

So what should the updated document say?
