Wendy Chien commented on HADOOP-423:
------------------------------------
To fix this, we'll detect and normalize relative paths in the Path class. For
backwards compatibility, we'll allow people to rename or remove existing
files/dirs that contain '.' or '..' . Or do people think that's not necessary
because it's unlikely anyone has been using '.' and '..' in their paths
intentionally? (Though I suppose if they did unintentionally, it might be nice
to let them remove them.)

> Paths containing '.' or '..' are not normalized -- the corresponding
