It would be surprising that this would be the first codepath that needs to get an absolute pathname in the codebase that is more than 10 years old, wouldn't it? Don't we have a reasonable API helper function to do this kind of thing already?

Doesn't absolute_path() work here?

Looks like an unrelated change to me.

This addition of blank, too.
