Peculiarity with putChild() using the root of the webserver

I have been playing with Twisted 12.2.0, and encountered this minor
infelicity:

1) Files not at the root of the web server work as expected:

a) putChild("foo", File("some-directory")) works as expected - URL is
http://example.com/foo/

b) Navigating to the directory "bar" within "foo" gives a URL of
http://example.com/foo/bar/ as expected.


2) Files at the root of the web server wind up with an extra "/" in the URL:

a)  putChild("", File("some-directory")) yields a URL of
http://example.com//   <-- note double slash

b) navigating to the same directory "bar" gives: http://example.com//bar
<-- double-slash again...

Conclusion:

I think it would make sense to special the case of the root directory and
not output a double "//" in the URL.
