[augeas-devel] [PATCH 0/2] #216: Support path contexts

This patch attempts to address #216, supporting a root context for all relative 
paths passed into the API.

It was intended to mirror Puppet's "context" property, but implemented in 
Augeas itself so relative paths can be passed into aug_srun.

Relative paths are defined as those that don't start with "/" or "//" (the 
latter to keep backwards-compatibility, will always refer to a descendant of 
root).

The context is stored in /augeas/context and can be modified with the usual 
commands.  It's parsed as a full path expression, but must evaluate to a single 
node.  It defaults to "/files".

The second patch makes tab completion work in augtool as a user might expect, 
so it's aware now of the context.

Feedback's appreciated.

Thanks,
Dominic
