Files included relatively in requirements.in file gets converted to absolute paths

[rosen-dash]

Description

With the latest release (24.3.1), pip-compile produces requirements.txt file with absolute paths to all the incudeded requirements.in files. This makes it difficult to reuse across different users and different machines.

With 24.2

backoff==2.2.1
    # via -r requirements.in

With 24.3.1

backoff==2.2.1
    # via -r /Users/rosen/Personal/sample/requirements.in

Expected behavior

It should retain the relative paths only to make the generated files reusable.

pip version

24.3.1

Python version

3.12.4

OS

MacOS 15.0.1

How to Reproduce

• Download the sample.zip
• run pip install pip==24.2
  • pip-compile requirements_dev.in will produce the content of requirements_dev-24.2.txt with

backoff==2.2.1
    # via -r requirements.in

• run pip install pip==24.3.1
  • pip-compile requirements_dev.in will produce the content of requirements_dev-24.3.1.txt with

backoff==2.2.1
    # via -r /Users/rosen/Personal/sample/requirements.in

You need to report this to the pip-tools project, which pip-compile belongs to: https://github.com/jazzband/pip-tools/issues

While pip-tools uses pip, pip does not support pip-tools.
