What does this bogus code in urlparse do?

See "http://svn.python.org/view/python/trunk/Lib/urlparse.py?rev=60163&view=ma...

Look at "urljoin".

What does the code marked "# XXX The stuff below is bogus in various
ways..." do?

I think it's an attempt to remove leading "../" components in URLs, which are
generally ignored. But it also does something with commas, and it's not
clear why.

You should probably invest in syntax highlighting ;), it doesn't do
anything with commas (just '.', '..' , and ''). It appears to be
trying to normalize relative URLs into a single absolute one, as the
docstring implies.
