# Find the best reverse path to reference the current directory from another
|
|
# directory. We use this to find relative paths to and from the source and build
|
|
# directories.
|

#
|
|
# If the directory is given as an absolute path, return an absolute path to the
|
|
# current directory.
|

#
|
|
# If there's a symlink involved, and the same relative path would not work if
|
|
# the symlink was replace with a regular directory, then return an absolute
|
|
# path. This handles paths like out -> /mnt/ssd/out
|
|
#
|
|
# For symlinks that can use the same relative path (out -> out.1), just return
|
|
# the relative path. That way out.1 can be renamed as long as the symlink is
|
|
# updated.
|
|
#
|
|
# For everything else, just return the relative path. That allows the source and
|
|
# output directories to be moved as long as they stay in the same position
|
|
# relative to each other.
