Nope… just tried it, at this time it's relative to whatever directory 
you call `ssh` from.

Which if everybody who used this directory kept it in the same place, 
wouldn't be a big issue… but since I'll bet everyone I'm working with 
keeps this repository in a different place, there is no "stable" path 
that will work for everyone.  Short of getting everyone to set an 
environment variable in ~/.profile, I can't configure this in a seamless 
manner.
