[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #57664] dir() function folder element is empty for Windows UNC network-based files

[Rik]

Update of bug #57664 (project octave):

                Priority:              5 - Normal => 3 - Low                
                 Release:                  5.1.90 => dev

Follow-up Comment #4:

Because canonicalize_file_name() doesn't work this is going to be quite
difficult to fix.  Ensuring uniform support for UNC paths not just in dir(),
but throughout Octave will be quite a project, if anyone wants to take it on.

This won't get fixed for 5.2.0 so I have changed the Release field to "dev". 
I've also lowered the Priority to Low.  This could be fixed, but someone would
need to be very motivated and there are probably workarounds to the use of UNC
paths.
