Oh, yeah, that's deliberate behavior. I generally recommend using git submodules to manage dependencies like this.

What is your use-case? If the reason is sufficiently compelling, I'll be happy to support it as well.

(If you'd like to patch it just for yourself, you can eliminate .relative_to(self.basedir) on line 214 of hdata.py.)
