New submission from Pan Yongzhi <[email protected]>:
I am constructing a source directory argument to rsync. It has to end with
slash due to rsync behavior. I use:
os.path.join('/src/dir', os.path.sep)
And run it and realized the source directory becomes '/'. Luckily it is not the
destination.
Why should join discard all previous path components if any component is an
absoulute path? This is such a surprise and renders this function useless.
