Paths with trailing slashes always have the trailing slash removed #154

We are working with a site that has a number of index pages, by category. It uses URLS of the form /content//, and uses the trailing slash to differentiate between other filters and a category filter. As such, removing the trailing slash results in a URL that is not on the site.

This is done in uriwrapper.rb:194

I understand the desire to canonicalise the URLs, however it might be useful if it were optional for some sites.

SiteDiff currently doesn't support this type of URL.

Currently, SiteDiff creates directories and files based off of what it sees in paths. When it sees /content/ and /content//, it creates the same file.

We are investigating solutions for this issue.
