Separately, I'd also prefer to hear from Peff regarding my reading of 37a95862c6 (alternates: re-allow relative paths from environment, 2016-11-07) and whether we want to continue 'supporting' broken paths in the environment. I doubt it, but since he initially suggested it in his fixup patch [1], his opinon would be reassuring :) [1] https://lore.kernel.org/git/Y3aBzbzub7flQyca@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/
