Duplicate bug: (see #3975) filepath: normalise trailing dot
This darcs patch modifies the behaviour of normalise to handle trailing dots in a path. The previous behaviour yielded this:
Prelude System.FilePath> normalise "../." "../." Prelude System.FilePath> normalise ".././" ".././" Prelude System.FilePath> normalise ".././.." "../.."
This patch modifies dropDots such that the check for (".":[]) only occurs once for the path, after which a driver function dropDots' is used which skips this check. Hence "." can be removed from the end of a longer path, but a path of just "." is unchanged.
