init: --reference failed with relative path.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Affected Version: v1.7.3.1
Environment: linux (Ubuntu 10.10)

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. mkdir my_aosp && cd my_aosp
2. repo init -u url.to.manifest --reference ../aosp
3. repo sync

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

  Want use relative path "../aosp" as reference
  but, errors appered while syncing.

Please provide any additional information below.

  Seems "--reference" should given only with absolute path.
  I think ensure it with os.path.realpath() in subcmds/init.py 
  will solve the problem.

  Patch attached.
