New submission from Matt Bachmann: I noticed an issue passing in unicode to os.path.relpath.
Specifically that in some cases when passing in unicode I would get back unicode and others I would get back a string. Below I demonstrate the issue. I also attached a patch. Is this an issue or am I misunderstanding something. Is the patch reasonable? Totally willing to improve and i'll admit I cannot test the ntpath version.
