OK.

To reproduce this issue:

1. git clone https://github.com/dogecoin/dogecoin or any project
2. ln -s dogecoin alias
3. cd alias
4. gtags -I
5. cd ../dogecoin
6. lid

The last step should produce absolute paths which trip global over.

Basically one could see this issue if any part of a project root is a
symbolic link. For example $HOME/sources -> /home/shared/sources.
