path.relative adds trailing slash in node 12 #28549
Description
What happens in node < 12
const Path = require('path');
Path.relative('/page1/page2/foo', '/');
// '../../..'
Path.relative('/page1/page2/foo', '/page1/');
// '../..'
Path.relative('/page1/page2/foo', '/page1/page2/');
// '..'What happens in node => 12
const Path = require('path');
Path.relative('/page1/page2/foo', '/');
// '../../../'
// ^--- Note the trailing slash
Path.relative('/page1/page2/foo', '/page1/');
// '../..'
Path.relative('/page1/page2/foo', '/page1/page2/');
// '..'Note the inconsistency when resolving a path against root. In node 12 we now get a trailing slash.
What I expect should happen
We either resolve all paths with or without trailing slashes but not mix both.
Nodes behavior prior to 12 was more consistent.
- 12.6.0
- OSX 10.14.5

The changed behavior appears in Node.js 11.14.0 as well (but not in 11.13.0).

@nodejs/path
path: using .relative() should not return a trailing slash
path: move branch to the correct location
