File.dirname normalization differs from MRI #2391

From: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/JRUBY-4863. Differs from MRI on JRuby 1.7.18 and JRuby 9000.

MRI strips additional leading slashes with File.dirname:

File.dirname("////foo/bar/baz") => /foo/bar (MRI)
File.dirname("////foo/bar/baz") => ////foo/bar (JRuby)

However, I'm not sure if this "normalization" is intentional in MRI or accidental, because it only seems to work on leading slashes in MRI:

File.dirname("////foo//bar/baz") => /foo//bar (MRI)
File.dirname("////foo//bar/baz") => ////foo//bar (JRuby)

I'd say the spec needs to be fleshed out. Either the path should be completely normalized, or not at all.

I've reproduced this with the latest 9k and 1.7.21 FWIW

I fixed this some time during 9.1.x and we have EOLd 1.7.x. Resolving.
