Ok so after some additional reflection, this is really a feature that GES'
Assets ought to have.

GES should, in addition to the absolute paths, take note of relative paths
(maybe just the last path of the project file?) and use that to figure out the
relative positioning and if the project file AND assets were moved "together".

Maybe it needs a hash/some way to ensure that the media assets are indeed the
ones that were in use before.

Anyhow, once that's done, it should handle relocation automatically, instead of
having to bug the user with senseless questions such as "you moved your project
file and all its assets from folder 'foo' to folder 'foo/bar' or folder 'baz',
can you tell me where are the assets please?"
