gcovr is dead when specify full path

[xsyr]

$ pwd
/home/xsyr/workspace/cppprojects/ptp/build
$ gcovr -x -o report.xml -r ..            <------ It works fine.
$ gcovr -x -o report.xml -r /home/xsyr/workspace/cppprojects/ptp/
..... No response for a long time.

It looks to me like it's only taking the first character in the pathname. So it's probably scanning /. For example:

$ ../../external/python/gcovr-3.1/scripts/gcovr -x -r src -o tmp.xml
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "../../external/python/gcovr-3.1/scripts/gcovr", line 1828, in <module>
    datafiles = get_datafiles(options.root, options)
  File "../../external/python/gcovr-3.1/scripts/gcovr", line 377, in get_datafiles
    files = search_file(".*\.gc(da|no)$", dir)
  File "../../external/python/gcovr-3.1/scripts/gcovr", line 356, in search_file
    raise IOError("Unknown directory '"+path+"'")
IOError: Unknown directory 's'

$ ../../external/python/gcovr-3.1/scripts/gcovr -x -r xen -o tmp.xml
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "../../external/python/gcovr-3.1/scripts/gcovr", line 1828, in <module>
    datafiles = get_datafiles(options.root, options)
  File "../../external/python/gcovr-3.1/scripts/gcovr", line 377, in get_datafiles
    files = search_file(".*\.gc(da|no)$", dir)
  File "../../external/python/gcovr-3.1/scripts/gcovr", line 356, in search_file
    raise IOError("Unknown directory '"+path+"'")
IOError: Unknown directory 'x'

This is with the 3.1 release (if it wasn't clear from the pathname), by the way.

This seems to fix the issue, any hope of getting it pulled in?

This is now fixed.
