Description Christian Neumair 2008-04-26 16:23:19 UTC 
Root dummy files (i.e. with path "/") do not return NULL, but themself. This breaks code like

while (file = get_parent (file)) {
  ...
}

This is a dupe of bug 528600, however this patch is likely valid too, and is simpler. My fix was just copied from GVFS (http://bugzilla.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=109496&action=view).

So I'm closing this as a dupe, but we should move this patch over to that bug too.
