Hash bang routing with root path ("/")

[TheSharpieOne]

In the sample states.js: // Use a url of "/" to set a states as the "index".

When entering the site at the root/index/home level and using hashbangs, the $location.path() will return "" instead of "/". When a state's url option is "/" to match the root/index/home, it will not match ("" != "/").

If the $location.path() is an empty string ("") it should match the root/index/home state ("/")

Here is the $location when entering the root/index/home of a site at the time the match is performed.

*The manual hash was me going directly to the url with the hash already in place.

We've meant to make "" match "/" but never got around to it because its simple to just add $urlRouterProvider.when("", "/");

When you tested it? 3 days ago Angular 1.2.8. Maybe it resolves your problem?

$location: return '/' for root path in hashbang mode (63cd873f, #5650, #5712)

@miraage oh neat! That's perfect for us.

Once someone can confirm we'll close this.
