Description
Creating a VRT file using gdalbuildvrt generally creates a VRT file with relative paths to files, e.g.:
<SourceFilename relativeToVRT="1">tmp/gdalbuildvrt1.tif</SourceFilename>
However, after calculating raster statistics through either gdalinfo -stats mosaic.vrt or calling GDALRasterBand::GetStatistics, this attribute is modified to the default relativeToVRT="0" and the content is modified to an absolute file path:
<SourceFilename relativeToVRT="0">/path/to/tmp/gdalbuildvrt1.tif</SourceFilename>
This quiet modification of the VRT file structure is not expected, and may break the links if the structure is later moved to a different path (assuming the links are still relative).
It would be preferred to preserve the relativeToVRT attribute for VRT files when calculating statistics.
