In general I think it's nice to preserve the relative path.

I'm not sure where the conversion to abspath occurs relative to
the generation of notifications, but I see what you mean.

But what if the user specified a target, which is under `pwd`, using an
absolute path? Do we want to notify this using an absolute path or
a relative path?
If we go with "make it absolute whenever it's outside cwd", then I think
that (as you suggest, but not necessarily as it works right now) it
makes sense to also do the opposite --- convert abspath to cwd-relative
path if they happen to be under cwd.
