Mahadev konar commented on HADOOP-57:
-------------------------------------

here is a better fix:

268a269,271
>       if (path.toString().equals("")){
>           return DFSFile.DFS_FILE_SEPARATOR;
>       }

This one solves the problem and defaults to /user/username in case of 
non-absolute path.

> hadoop dfs -ls / does not show root of file system
