[Patch in https://bugzilla.ecoscentric.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1000539 ]

Hi Savin,

I was looking at this patch. There's an aspect I'm unsure about. I admit I
haven't found any reason why it would go wrong (although that took a lot
head scratching!), but it seems to be a bit odd for a node for "." to be
added to the node cache where the parent cluster is actually that of a
subdirectory. Is this definitely the intended solution? I'm just worried
about unintended side-effects, given that you can then have multiple nodes
pointing to the same directory entry from different directions, so to speak.
