[issue9261] include higher (../../) dirs fails

[Dan OD]

Dan OD <djo35 at cam.ac.uk> added the comment:

Thinking about this - maybe including dirs above ./ is bad as it's not obvious where they should live in the sdist. 

My alternative would be to create links to ../../this in ./ but then distutils creates links rather than hard copies in sdist - is this something that can be avoided? 

Thanks again, Dan
