I think you're looking at an old version of the code.  My understanding
of his message was that that patch had already been applied but not
backpatched and he wants it backpatched.  To wit, that hint message does
include "init" on master and it's located in src/common/relpath.c.

However, I did find another occurence in the documentation, so third
patch attached.
