It seems this function does something unhealthy when you pass a path of the 
form //server/share. On windows dropping the double // at the beginning makes
it a different path since // is the UNC prefix.

I'm not sure git on windows actually works with UNC-prefix anyway, so my point 
may be moot, but having even more places to fix to make it work doesn't help.
