The difference between path and path/ is very cute ;-).  I do
not do Porcelain myself, so I am OK with this change, but this
would involve some changes to the Porcelain.

So let's cook this for a while and have Porcelain people holler
if they find something lacking.  I'll put this in the proposed
updates tonight, and we will plan to push everything in the
proposed updates branch to the master branch on Wednesday, with
any fixes and updates necessary.
