The above case should be fixed already: 5c051bb19e622178bf457f68051694b80454224d
The idea is to work around path length limitations. #1379 would introduce a regression in that regard.
So to elaborate, a typical scanario is to have a project in %USERPROFILE%/dev/foo
and dependencies in %USERPROFILE%/AppData/Roaming/dub/packages
. Using a relative path allows to replace %USERPROFILE%
with ../../
, which is usually quite a bit shorter.
Once everything in the Windows build chain is UNC path aware, we can drop this workaround and then I'd also favor the approach in #1379.

calling dub shows:
it should show:
/abspath/bar/exe
(using appropriate std.path functions)
