So I'm looking at it now, and I can see why I never handled it before:
Let's say, worst-case scenario, the file doesn't exist in THIS, and some
of its parent directories are also missing.

1. Do I use BASE or OTHER for the path?
2. Do I use the exact path from that tree, or do I invent a path by
iterating up through parents in OTHER/BASE until I find something that
exists in THIS?
3. When I make the directories, do I also add them to the inventory of THIS?
4. What do I do if there's something in the way?
