+Summary: Missing trailing directory separator char using Path.GetDirectoryName on Windows
+
+On Windows, when a file or directory in the root of a drive is passed to
+the Path.GetDirectoryName function, Mono returns only the drive letter and
+volume separator character, but not the trailing directory separator
+character (which is a backslash on Windows).
+
+eg. Path.GetDirectoryName(@"c:\test") should return c:\, but instead
+returns c: on Windows
+
+To match the MS.NET implementation, Path.GetDirectoryName should also
+return the trailing directory separator character on Windows when the
+directory name is the root.
