The dynamic path computer in FileUtils has caused a few bugs lately (bug 244813 and bug 272573). I think some of this is because the documentation around what a root path is, is confusing. For example, given /foo/foobar.txt /foo/bar/ what is a segment of 1. Also, what is the first path in: /foo/ /foo/bar/ /foo/bar/foobar.txt Are the 2 empty directories considered when computing the first path. We should make sure the documentation is clear, and the uses of the dynamic path computer are consistent.
I believe that segment numbering etc follows the Path model. Also, the computers are (should be) basically dumb. They don't know empty from full. Give it a path and it does its thing. Of course you could write one that did complicated stuff but that is not an inherent part of the computers.
This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet. If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
I assume it's been reviewed and no action was taken.
