rubygem-pathutil

Like Pathname but a little less insane

Pathutil tries to be a faster pure Ruby impelementation of Pathname. It arose out of a need to fix basic problems with Pathname, such as suscepetibility to join overrides, need for automatic encoding, and normalization (for stuff like Jekyll) and the ability to do other safe-style operations in an encapsulated format, like copying files and folders with symlinks but only if they originate from the given root.
