I don't think it has to do with win32, I think the issue is that if
you put "./foo/" it will fail to actually ignore the foo directory.
Because when we check the path to ignore, the path we are comparing
with is "./foo" which *doesn't* match ./foo/. So 'bzr ignore' strips
the trailing slash to make sure we do what you are actually asking for.

I could be wrong, but it is easy to check by manually editing the file.
