Issue created Jan 12, 2008 by Ian Lynagh <igloo@earth.li>@trac-igloo

In FilePath, current directory should be ".", not ""

!FilePath's "current directory" should be ".", not "". This affects a number of commands, e.g.

normalise "."       should be "."         not ""
"." </> "foo"       should be "foo"       not "./foo"
splitFileName "foo" should be (".","foo") not ("","foo")

Some discussion is in this thread: http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/libraries/2007-December/008743.html
