I agree. I (think) I've done this in r1039072.

I did *not* do this yet. Right now, we get a mix of absolute and relative
paths passed through the notification system by client layer. I'm not
convinced (at all!) that this "mix" has been well-thought-out. I suspect
it's just in whatever state naturally evolved from our internal conversion
to abspaths everywhere. I'm wondering what would happen -- that is, how
much chaos would ensue -- if we changed subversion/svn/notify.c:notify() to,
in the case where n->path is not a URL, always first convert n->path to an
absolute path before doing the prefix removal stuff.
