+    #     - //foo:bar depends on //foo:baz.
+    #     - When calling bazel build //foo:bar within A, the shortpath of //foo:baz is foo/baz.
+    #     - But if one calls bazel build @A//foo:bar from repo B, the short path of foo:baz is ../A/foo/baz
+    # 2. On the other hand apko dumps the checksum of config file into lockfile, so we cannot generate config files that would very depending on
+    #    where they are called from.
+    # 3. This is a problem only when foo/bar is called both from A and from B - we need to choose one of the short paths in the config. The other possibility
+    #    is added with include-paths flag.
