currently reading ref manual, section 6, and i'm seeing filename
references of the form /meta-yocto/conf, /scripts/oe-setup-builddir,
and so on.
is it really appropriate for those filenames to begin with a leading
slash? it seems unnecessary, and possibly a bit misleading. is there a
reason for those leading slashes?

I'd have to agree, there should not be a leading slash. I see there are some
paths in the reference manual where we use $HOME/poky/ as a prefix, those
should probably also be removed.
Cheers,

I searched through the YP doc set and removed as many leading slash characters that were being used in pathnames as possible. There are a few "~" characters in some of the very specific examples that I left. But for the most part, directory name usage is consistent now.
