Yes, this is even a clippy warning I overlooked, will send a new version 
for this.

I'm not sure a warning would bring much benefit here, unless we plan to 
allow to navigate the whole catalog at some point, not just the archive 
given as parameter when invoking the shell.

Also, could you clarify what do you mean exactly with the latter 
question. With the patch applied the shell should treat '/' as parent of 
itself, or am I missing something.
