When a patch modifies (not deletes) the last file in a directory, because we treat a modification just as deletion followed by creation, and deleting the last file in a directory automatically rmdir(2)'s that directory, we ended up removing the directory, which can potentially be the cwd, and then recreating the same directory to create the patch result. Avoid the rmdir step when remove_file() is called only because we are replacing it with the result by later calling create_file().
