All variations to return a path or parent only returns /app

See original GitHub issue

Not sure if this is a bug or because of how it create the repository, but any variations to get parent or the fullname of a fed path results in /app.

For example:

!eval Directory.GetParent(@"C:\test\something\file.exe").FullName

!eval new System.IO.DirectoryInfo(@"C:\test\something\file.exe").Parent

Just wanted to know if that is right because of the repository or an actual bug.

Oh wow, I didn’t expect it to be an issue at that end… I don’t have any linux to actually test it out to fill a proper issue in there, maybe this weekend I will set one up and do it.
