Thanks, Matt. Indeed this is a workaround, what I was thinking about to use. The thing I wanted actually to discuss whether it worth to research possibility of replacing these absolute paths with relative ones. At least afaik, git repo clone is fully portable (movable) except for submodules. So I wanted to ask community if this is an intended behavior, or it may (and should?) be refined.
