Description
It would be handy to allow to recreate the entire directory branch relative to some given root (this is possible using rsync). Currently you can get that in linux using something like $(realpath --relative-to $base_path $path) as rclone argument.
For example, if pwd = a/b, copying c/d/e relative to a should create b/c/d/e at the target fs, not only e.

Research direction
No source file or test is named. Start by tracing rclone's command-line path handling and compare the requested behavior with rsync and the shown realpath example. Done means copying c/d/e from a/b relative to a creates b/c/d/e at the target rather than only e.
