-          REJECT: remote commands using local absolute paths will fail.
-            rewrapper --canonicalize_working_dir=true.
-              This allows cache sharing between different build output

-            reproxy: no InputPathAbsoluteRoot
-
-          RELATIVIZE: rewrite commands using relative paths, using a wrapper.
-            Relative paths are remote-execution friendly, while absolute paths
-            will likely fail.  cmake builds are known to use absolute paths.
-            Relativized commands are better for caching across build
-            environments, but the wrapper script incurs some overhead.
-            rewrapper --canonicalize_working_dir=true.
-            reproxy: no InputPathAbsoluteRoot
-
-          ALLOW: Force the remote environment to mimic local paths.
-            This allows commands with absolute paths to work,
-            at the expense of being able to cache across build environments.
-            This option can help cmake builds work remotely.
-            rewrapper --canonicalize_working_dir=false.
