Follow-up Comment #3, bug #20970 (project findutils):
More points of reference, seeing how coreutils handles extra trailing slashes
(and adding the coreutils list for comments):
$ mkdir -p dir/subdir
$ touch q r
$ mv -v q r dir////
`q' -> `dir/q'
`r' -> `dir/r'
$ # built names were compressed
$ ls -d dir////
dir/////
$ # command line args were listed as typed
$ ls -R dir////
dir////:
q r subdir/
dir/subdir:
$ # again, command line arg as is, built names compressed
Given that behavior, then perhaps this should happen:
$ find dir////
dir////
dir/q
dir/r
dir/subdir
And if that is the case, then "find foo// -wholename foo/" would not match,
but "find foo// -wholename foo/*" would match everything, and "find foo//
-wholename foo//*" would only match "foo//".
