Log: Add an ending slash to the prefix

I just realized this change caused a loss of functionality that I
was planning to use.  A mount-table is a pass-through construct:
if no match is found by following the mount-table, then the search
is continued in the sitemap that mounted the mount-table file.
A normal map:mount is not pass-through: if no match is found in the
mounted sitemap, then the search is ended.

With this change from 2.1.4 behaviour we lose the ability to setup
pass-through behaviour by mapping a sub-sitemap into the same url
space as its parent and letting the parent match what the sub-sitemap
does not match.

The change claims:
  // Append a '/' at the end of the prefix 
  // this avoids flat uri matching which would cause 
  // exceptions in the sub sitemap! 
I was not getting exceptions like this in 2.1.4...could anyone
explain in more detail the reasons for this change?

<alternate-solution>
  We could have a passthru="true" attribute on map:mount's to
  turn on pass through behaviour...
</alternate-solution>
