I wasn't suggesting there is a patch attached to that issue. Rather I was just pointing out that JDK-8251329 was being worked on already before this PR was created. Lance's initial patch for JDK-8251329 changed ZipPath::getResolvedPath when creating the inode entry but that approach leads to anomalies. Overall I think the discussion has been useful but I don't think it's feasible to have a file system view over entries that look like links to the current or parent directory.
