If I have a folder /foo and another folder /foobar,                             
transactions for /foobar are displayed in                                       
foo.undoable_transactions(). 

This is almost certainly caused by lib/python/ZopeUndo/Prefix.py.                        
Prefix only cares if one string starts with the other, nothing more.
But this is intended purely for use in Zope, and we really care about paths, not raw strings.

Something like (untested):

If there are no objections, I'll write tests and check it in on the trunk (svn) and then backport to the 2_7 branch in cvs.
