Yes, the documentation is not completely clear on this. After re-reading
it, I think it seems to suggest that rewriting is done on the full path,
not partial path names. Thinking about supporting it or not, I couldn't
really come up with an answer. It seems that it could be surprising
either way - which is why waiting for real-case scenarios would probably
make sense here (and apply the patch as you and Doug suggested).
