Everything I try on my internal servers just makes it behave like a relative path (relative to the user's home that is, so you could also say it's absolute, if you wished to describe #1 and #2 as absolute). Is there some option I'm missing which would let me do that? In other words, how can I have a repo located at some location of my choosing, but the user accesses it by some standard/canonical argument. Any pointers to how to do this would be greatly appreciated.
