Similar to the has_dos_drive_prefix:

For Windows/Mingw we do like this

mingw.h
#define has_dos_drive_prefix(path) (isalpha(*(path)) && (path)[1] == ':')

And all other platforms defines has_dos_drive_prefix() to be 0 here
git-compat-util.h
#ifndef has_dos_drive_prefix
#define has_dos_drive_prefix(path) 0
#endif

mingw.h:
#define has_unc_path_prefix(path) ((path)[0] == '/' && (path)[1] == '/')
(Or may be)
#define has_unc_path_prefix(path) (is_dir_sep((path)[0])   && is_dir_sep((path)[1]))
