gnome-vfs-2.16.2-same-fs.patch

This is the modified version of patch included in 5.5 release. Turns out that gnome-vfs returns escaped paths when extracted from the URI. This sounds weird and unexpectable, certainly not documented. Since we do g_stat() later then, we need an unescaped path as stored on the disk.

Hi Tomas,
