Nit: Looks like this is still a two-sentence first paragraph.

My understanding was the it was the first paragraph, and not sentence. Fixed.

+  /// is relative.
+  ///
+  /// If the path is root-relative, the root length is 1.
+  int rootLength(String path);
+
   /// Gets the root prefix of [path] if path is absolute. If [path] is relative,
   /// returns `null`.
-  String getRoot(String path);
+  String getRoot(String path) {
+    var length = rootLength(path);
+    if (length > 0) return path.substring(0, length);
+    return isRootRelative(path) ? path[0] : null;
+  }
 
-  /// Gets the root prefix of [path] if it's root-relative.
+  /// Gets if [path] is root-relative.

"Gets if" -> "Returns whether"

[Anders Johnsen, 2014/08/06 07:05:15]

Done.

   ///

-  String getRelativeRoot(String path);
+  /// If [path] is relative or absolute and not root-relative, returns `false`.

   /// Returns the URI that represents the relative path made of [parts].
   Uri relativePathToUri(String path) =>
       new Uri(pathSegments: context.split(path));
 
   /// Returns the URI that represents [path], which is assumed to be absolute.
   Uri absolutePathToUri(String path);
