Are these blocks necessary? Are you trying to handle the case where you're doing
a relative path to something outside the source root? Do we care about that
case? It seems like a separate issue than the one you are solving.

There are also a lot of string copies here (this function is called a lot) and
it won't compile on Windows.

Same for the one in the Dir case below.

I tried commenting this out and without it, the build fails with

 zeuthen@luna:/ssd/chromium/src/tools/gn$ ../../out/Debug/gn gen
/ssd/midlertidigt/chrome_build/out/Debug/
 ERROR at //tools/grit/grit_rule.gni:254:18: File is not inside output
directory.
   grit_outputs = get_path_info(
                  ^-------------
 The given file should be in the output directory. Normally you would specify
 "$target_out_dir/foo" or "$target_gen_dir/foo". I interpreted this as
 "//midlertidigt/chrome_build/out/Debug/gen/content/grit/content_resources.h".
 See //content/BUILD.gn:66:1: whence it was called.
 grit("resources") {

I think there's a way to optimize this so we don't have to call Resolve() -
basically, we're good until we call NormalizePath(): the culprit is that we're
trying to normalize a path of the form
//../../../ssd/midlertidigt/chrome_build/out/Debug which we'll erroneously
normalize to //midlertidigt/chrome_build/out/Debug/ ... so perhaps all we need
is to teach NormalizePath() about being smart and only do expensive stuff if we
end up going outside the source root.
