Reproduce example;
$ echo "testdir/testfile" | xargs -I '{}' echo '{}', dir: $(echo
dirname '{}') = $(dirname '{}')
Expected output;
testdir/testfile, dir: dirname testdir/testfile = testdir
Actual output;
testdir/testfile, dir: dirname testdir/testfile = .
This behavior seems to be limited to the xargs -I replace-str usage
pattern, any other way I can think of running dirname works fine.
Basename has similarly wonky behavior, it prints the full string
instead of doing any stripping.
Not sure if there's a bug involved (or if it's on the findutils or
coreutils side). Could also just be something silly I'm overlooking.
I've tested this with findutils 4.4.2 and coreutils 8.5 & 8.13 with
identical results.
