With current git, the parent dir search algo breaks this. For example, just take the current git tree, build it up, and then run: $ ./mkfs.jffs2 -d . -D device_table.txt -o /dev/null mkfs.jffs2: skipping device_table entry '/dev': no parent directory! mkfs.jffs2: skipping device_table entry '/dev/mem': no parent directory! ... Doing `mkdir ./dev` first works around the issue, but where's the fun in that.
