While the problem was already resolved, I think a third option makes 
more sense:

3. absolutize paths, but do not canonicalize them.

E.g. we should turn
$ tla my-revision-library .
into
$ tla my-revision-library $(pwd)

And
$ tla my-revision-library foo
into
$ tla my-revision-library $(pwd)/foo

but leave absolute paths alone, and avoid resolving symlinks.
