+There are many places in the notmuch code where the path is assumed to be absolute. If someone (TM) wants a project, one could remove these assumptions. In the mean time, prevent users from shooting themselves in the foot.\r
+\r
+Update test suite mark tests for this error as no longer broken, and\r
+also convert some tests that used relative paths for nonexistent\r
+directories.\r
