Rafe H. Kettler <rafe.kett...@gmail.com> added the comment: I think Brian's second solution ("the result is simply path2 when path1 is empty or path2 is an absolute path?") is a strong one. If that were tacked on towards the end it would add some clarity to the docs for people who will end up using this behavior or want a more in-depth explanation. At the same time, I think putting it towards the end (as more of a side note, like the bit about behavior on Windows with drive names) lets less sophisticated users (like me) ignore that piece of documentation.
