This is a bit extreme and pedantic. The URL is fine as is. There
was little need to change it, and even less need to revert it
and cause grief to a contributor.

The modern web more and more makes trailing / more incorrect
than correct.

You have absolutely no way to tell if a URL is the "root of a directory"
with so many internal rewrites and dynamic URLs around the web now.
