Julien, thank you for reporting this issue using mail. We always like to
discuss by mail first, and only use a bug tracker if the information needs to

The text is: "in its eyes, a directory is a directory is a directory."
That repetition is intentional. It is not necessary - you could remove it
without changing the meaning - but it is an idiom that is used occasionally for
emphasis, like "going on and on and on".
