No, this is not 'totally bogus'. Filename var always contains at least
one PATH_SEP:

cdbackup-0.6.3.tar.gz#utar/cdbackup-0.6.3/CHANGES
/#ftp:portal at aaaa.pl/backup

So this 'if' is just to protect from the impossible. As all
programmers know impossible happens about once a year to (and I want
to be protected just in case some code changes etc.), and we surely
dont want to increment NULL of increment beyond the string. Result is
not so important in impossible case :)

Of course your code would be also good, with one exception:

  basename = filename;

because filename includes all the vfs stuff, which we don't want IMO.
