Thanks, will queue.

By the way, I do not necessarily agree with the above comment. As long as
you consistently strip the trailing slashes from all directory paths, or
you consistently leave a single trailing slash after all directory paths,
you can get accurate comparison either way.

	Side note: I tend to prefer keeping a single trailing slash when I
	know what we are talking about is a directory in general, because
	you do not have to worry about the corner case near the root.
	Compare ('/' and '/bin/') vs ('/' and '/bin').

In this particular case, the real reason you want to remove the trailing
slash is that the invariants of ent->base[] demands it (after all, it
places another slash immediately after it), and making pathbuf.buf[] an
empty string (i.e. pfxlen == 0) would still be OK to represent an
alternate object store at the root level (this function assigns '/' at
ent->base[pfxlen] immediately before returning, and that '/' names the
root directory).
