and it's an absolute_path.
no sense checking that - rel2abs returns an absolute path by definition.
what if it fails?
the call to rel2abs? since it does no check of the underlying filesystem I doubt that's realistic.
you are right, I've confused with the opposite operation abs2rel, which may fail if the base doesn't fit.
In any case it's a good idea to check that rel2abs gives you a path that exists, no?
