Ability to back up (cd ..) from default login directory

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Most clients allow you to back up from the home directory, often via a folder 
marked ".." or via a 
dropdown that shows the current path relative to all parent directories. 
Doesn't seem to be a way to 
do that in MacFusion ... and I'm not sure how you integrate that into the OSX 
chrome ... but I think 
it's important.

And to be clear: By 'home directory' I mean the directory you log into, and the 
issue occurs when that directory is 
not the root.

I understand the wish but AFAIK it's not possible in (at least) SSHFS. 

Key point: I'll guess that *none* of the compared clients are *mounting* the 
file system in the way that MacFUSE does. 

Imagine ... making a MacFusion/SSHFS connection to a server, opening and 
editing a remote Word document, then 
fundamentally changing the path to that open file and all other files on the 
server (which is what would happen if you 
changed, after mounting, the remote server path). An ugly mess could surely 
ensue! 

Whilst this may be desirable, I suspect that it's impractical in the context of 
FUSE/MacFUSE so I'll set this MacFusion issue 
to WontFix. 

Workaround: set the server path to 
/
at time of connection 
and/or in the MacFusion favourite.
