Comment (by teor):

 Replying to [ticket:31737 nickm]:
 > Right now, relative paths in %include directives are handled relative to
 Tor's working directory, which doesn't make a lot of sense.  Handling them
 relative to the configuration file might make more sense?
 >
 > We'd want to figure out a way to handle this that won't break existing
 users.

 Try relative to the cwd first, and then try relative to the config file
 containing the %include directive?

 We could also deprecate cwd-relative paths, and warn when they are used.
 And then eventually remove them.

 If we wanted a simpler change, we could just deprecate and warn on any
 relative path.
