[New-bugs-announce] [issue21039] pathlib strips trailing slash

[Hristo Venev]

New submission from Hristo Venev:

Some programs' behavior is different depending on whether the path has a trailing slash or not. Examples include ls, cp, mv, ln, rm and rsync. URL paths may also behave differently. For example http://xkcd.com/1 redirects to http://xkcd.com/1/

Boost.Filesystem's path class also supports trailing slashes in paths. C++'s filesystem library proposal is also based on Boost.Filesystem.
