I agree:
>On Unix-like systems which use / as the file path separator, the two
items you describe ("dir" and "dir/") are treated as exactly the same
item.
>I may be wrong on this, but I believe that "/" is not allowed as part
of a file name on Linux.
I think you are contradicting what you said before.
And I disagree with this. Let me prove it, by showing what I just learned from
Philip and Paul:
address@hidden: ls dir/
foobar
My question was not "what to change to make it work". I know the answer to
that. My question was "why doesn't this work, is it a bug or am not
understanding something".
