But that function doesn't need an absolute path at all. Callers of that
function might, but those functions could most likely return an error.

and please take a look at the file libsvn_wc\props.c, search for
SVN_ERR_ASSERT_NO_RETURN.
I don't even know how to respond to something like this: calling
SVN_ERR_ASSERT_NO_RETURN() but in the very next line there's a statement
that could return an error, just that it never goes there because
SVN_ERR_ASSERT_NO_RETURN as the name implies never returns.

I can't add anything more to code like this.
