==== previous version ====
$ global -f ./libutil/date.c
now                40 libutil/date.c now(void)
$ global -f libutil/./date.c
now                40 libutil/date.c now(void)

==== patched version ==== 
$ global -f ./libutil/date.c
now                40 libutil/date.c now(void)
$ global -f libutil/./date.c
'./libutil/./date.c' not found in GPATH.

This behavior breaks compatibility and is not user-friendly.
