The first "If" clause says "If the value is the symbol FOO", which is
clear, but the other clauses say just "If FOO", which is much less

The GNU project's coding conventions frown on using "path" for
anything but PATH-style directory lists. Suggest to say
If it is `relative', show only the file-name fragment relative
to the project root directory.
