That was not intended with the patch. What it does is:

- You start eshell or shell, let's say from your home directory. The
  buffer list shows

. * *eshell*                32  EShell            ~/

- You go to another directory, for example in Eshell via "cd /sudo::". The
  buffer list shows

. * *eshell*               113  EShell            /sudo:address@hidden:/root/

And, btw, if you are on a remote directory in eshell, you can even call
programs on the remote host. Something like this:

~ $ id
uid=1000(albinus) gid=114(admin) 
groups=4(adm),20(dialout),24(cdrom),25(floppy),29(audio),30(dip),44(video),46(plugdev),100(users),109(lpadmin),111(scanner),114(admin)
~ $ cd /sudo::
/sudo:address@hidden:/root $ id
uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root)
/sudo:address@hidden:/root $ hostname
arthur
/sudo:address@hidden:/root $ cd /ssh:ford:
/ssh:address@hidden:/home/albinus $ hostname

/ssh:address@hidden:/home/albinus $
