[Prophet] [fwd] Problems with relative paths (from: stephane at shimaore.net)

[sunnavy]

Hi Stephane

I just fixed this in latest sd, turns out that the problem is not in Prophet
but mostly in App::SD::CLI::Command::Publish->work_with_urls().

though I tweaked Prophet::Util->updir too :)

Thanks for reporting this!

best wishes
