This could work because we don't accept a relative path for the OS file system paths. The funny thing about this is then I don't think I need the repos-relative APIs that I made public. > (I would say permit it to be an fspath, which is by definition absolute, > but fspaths aren't part of the public API.) Not a good idean, on unix platforms the fspath would be indistinguishable from an absolute OS file system path.
