[bug #50259] -printf %h behaves weirdly with trailing slashes

[Tavian Barnes]

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #50259 (project findutils):

> If the file's name contains no slashes (for example because it was named on
the command line and is in the current working directory), then “%h”
expands to “.”. This prevents “%h/%f” expanding to “/foo”, which
would be surprising and probably not desirable.

This looks to me like the intention was for "%h/%f" to be a valid path to the
file (otherwise, why have the special case at all?).

But I realise that it does exactly document the current behaviour.  Consider
this a feature request then?
