[PATCH 2/4] restore: don't corrupt stack for a zero-length command-line argument

[Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>]

From: Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>

Given a zero-length directory name, the trailing-slash removal
code would test dir_name[-1], and if it were found to be a slash,
would set it to '\0'.
