Non-existent tabs under 'by-id'

[Suhail-MOHD]

Just started using tabfs today. Tabs with file semantics scratch an itch I didn't know I had 😄

While browsing tabs under by-id, I noticed something weird. I'm able to cd into a directory that doesn't exist:

suhailmuhammed@Suhails-MacBook-Pro ~/C/T/f/m/t/by-id> pwd
/Users/suhailmuhammed/Codestash/TabFS/fs/mnt/tabs/by-id
suhailmuhammed@Suhails-MacBook-Pro ~/C/T/f/m/t/by-id>
suhailmuhammed@Suhails-MacBook-Pro ~/C/T/f/m/t/by-id> ls -ltr
total 0
drwxr-xr-x  3 root  wheel  0 Dec 31  1969 535003938
drwxr-xr-x  3 root  wheel  0 Dec 31  1969 535003929
drwxr-xr-x  3 root  wheel  0 Dec 31  1969 535003926
drwxr-xr-x  3 root  wheel  0 Dec 31  1969 535003918
suhailmuhammed@Suhails-MacBook-Pro ~/C/T/f/m/t/by-id>
suhailmuhammed@Suhails-MacBook-Pro ~/C/T/f/m/t/by-id> cd 78986
suhailmuhammed@Suhails-MacBook-Pro ~/C/T/f/m/t/b/78986>
suhailmuhammed@Suhails-MacBook-Pro ~/C/T/f/m/t/b/78986>
suhailmuhammed@Suhails-MacBook-Pro ~/C/T/f/m/t/b/78986> ls
control  debugger evals    inputs   watches

I can also list the contents of a non-existent directory:

suhailmuhammed@Suhails-MacBook-Pro ~/C/T/f/m/t/by-id> ls 54
control  debugger evals    inputs   watches
suhailmuhammed@Suhails-MacBook-Pro ~/C/T/f/m/t/by-id>

This seems to work for numbers but not alpha-numeric names:

suhailmuhammed@Suhails-MacBook-Pro ~/C/T/f/m/t/by-id> ls Idontexist
ls: Idontexist: No such file or directory
suhailmuhammed@Suhails-MacBook-Pro ~/C/T/f/m/t/by-id [1]> ls 1Idontexist
ls: 1Idontexist: No such file or directory
suhailmuhammed@Suhails-MacBook-Pro ~/C/T/f/m/t/by-id [1]> ls 12
control  debugger evals    inputs   watches
suhailmuhammed@Suhails-MacBook-Pro ~/C/T/f/m/t/by-id>
suhailmuhammed@Suhails-MacBook-Pro ~/C/T/f/m/t/by-id> ls 123231a
ls: 123231a: No such file or directory

I haven't spent time debugging this yet because macOS restricts me from using strace and I didn't want to go through the hassle of getting around that today. I can spend some time on it later this week, if you're okay with me helping out.

Thanks for creating this again!
