bug#6273: dired-current-directory with `t' arg returns empty string in top-level mount-point "/" |

(dired-current-directory t) returns the empty string
when in a `top-level' mount point, e.g. "/"
(progn
(dired "/" )
(dired-current-directory t))
=> ""
,---- (documentation 'dired-current-directory)
| {...}
| This returns a string with trailing slash, like `default-directory'.
| Optional argument means return a file name relative to `default-directory'.
`----
In the case at hand it does not return a string with trailing slash...
and appears in contrast to the return value of following forms:
(progn
(dired "/")
(file-relative-name default-directory))
=> "./"
(progn
(dired "/")
(file-relative-name (dired-default-directory)))
=> "./"
which are likewise at odds with each of the following:
(progn
(dired "/")
(dired-make-relative (dired-default-directory)))
=> ""
(progn
(dired "/")
(dired-make-relative (dired-make-absolute default-directory)))
=> "/"
So which is the correct return value? Relatively speaking...
