There was a problem hiding this comment.
This function appears to be used only for making locations in diagnostics relative. If it were also used to make notebook/file paths relative (e.g. spark_python_task), then not returning a relative path presents a failure mode.
Please add a comment describing how this function is supposed to be called and that it can return an absolute path. It should never be used in cases where we really need a relative path.

## Changes Fix a problem in `_relativize_path` where it crashes on Windows if the supplied path is on a different drive from CWD. Since paths on different drives don't have anything common, we simply return the supplied path as-is. ## Why Fixes #3658 ## Tests Unit tests
