Date: Sun, 23 Feb 2014 22:30:08 -0500

Confirmed with Emacs 24.3 & 22.1:

Enter eshell, change to / and then cd to ".." and eshell/pwd reports
"/.." instead of the canonical "/":

~ $ cd /
/ $ cd ..
/.. $ cd ..
/ $

It's pretty much a non-issue, but it may be an easy fix for someone.

I can submit a patch, but not sure if that's helpful without signing
FSF papers.

Michael
