It's more confusing on stat, since stat can be called from
subdirectories of the root... of course, it always gives paths
relative to the root anyway, so at least it would still be consistent.
My suggestion for this has been to have a uniform function for
formatting paths for user display (in log, stat, etc.), that would
look like:
file_path("foo") -> "'foo'"
file_path("foo bar") -> "'foo bar'"
file_path("") -> "'' (the root directory)"
(The uniform function part is probably more important than the exact
output, because the output is easy to tweak once it's been centralized
to one point in the code.)
