Subject: Relative pathes in @ARGV don't work as expected
In the manpage for synctree, you state that "File paths may be given as relative or absolute". That seems to be not true, only absolute pathes work. Relative ones show weird behaviour:

This is the correct behaviour, with absolute pathes

Then, I expected to be able to use a relative path to the plugins folder, based on -sbase:

% synctree -n -sb /home/utah2/abu/noback/tmp/ecc -db /mcsofttools/cropet/inst/eclipse/extensions/clearcase_2/eclipse plugins
Element change summary: add=0 modify=0 subtract=0

This did not work (add=0). So I assumed that relative pathes are taken from current dir, not -sbase, and tried this:

Very weird pathes...
For the moment, I can live with absolute pathes only. But it would be better to disable relative pathes if they don't work, and document correctly. Or even better, fix it...?
