BUG: mysqlhotcopy.sh still needs this patch

Sent this in a few weeks ago, problem is still present.

mysqlhotcopy sometimes attempts to create directories using
a pathname with a trailing slash. This fails on, for example,
Mac OS X. The following patch looks for extraneous trailing
slashes after the first character in the pathname and removes
them. (It looks after the first character in order to avoid
changing "/" to "".)

+ substr ($tgt_dirpath, 1) =~ s|/+$||;
if ( $opt{dryrun} ) {
print "mkdir $tgt_dirpath, 0750\n";
}


How-to-repeat:

Issue either of these commands on Mac OS X:

% mysqlhotcopy test

or

% mysqlhotcopy test .

The first tries to create DATADIR/test_copy/ and fails.
The second tries to create ./test/ and fails.

The patch changes those paths to DATADIR/test_copy and ./test,
respectively.

Thanks; I have now added this to my 3.23 source tree
(Will push this soon and propagate this to 4.0 and 4.1 before next
release)

Regards,
Monty
