Hi, While testing the new eshell module 'eshell-elecslash' I found a bug when the default-directory is the root of a remote host. To reproduce the problem type the following in a eshell buffer (replacing "method" and "host" by appropriate values): $ cd /method:host:/ $ cd / <--- here the "/" should be replaced by "/method:host:/" but instead nothing happen I've attached a patch to this email which fixes this issue.
