Comment:

 Is filepath supposed to follow the package versioning policy? If it is,
 then the new semantics of normalise should have been accompanied by an
 increased major version number. To minimise damage you may want to upload
 two new copies of filepath: 1.2.0.2 (a copy of 1.2.0.0) and 1.3.0.0 (a
 copy of 1.2.0.1).

 On a related note, is the following behaviour intended?
 {{{
 > normalise "/"
 "/."
 }}}
