Subject: 24.5; dired R rename of current directory
Date: Wed, 23 Sep 2015 21:04:34 +1000
In dired, attempting to "R" rename the current directory gets an error,

   mkdir /tmp/foo
   emacs -Q /tmp/foo
   p, p               # move point to "." entry
   R /tmp/bar
   =>
   dired-rename-subdir-2: Expected to find `/tmp/foo/./' in headerline of /tmp/foo/

The directory is successfully renamed to "bar", but apparently something
in the refresh of the buffer does not recognise it.  It'd be good if the
notion of current directory in the buffer followed to the new name.
