I agree that that the problem that you are addressing needs a solution.
However, the solution is not a whole-sale replacement of
have_dos_drive_prefix() by a function that is only a tiny bit fancier.
Accompanying changes are needed, and perhaps more code locations need change.

Perhaps we need is_dir_sep(path[0]) here? But since I have not observed any
breakage in connection with this code, I think that all callers feed only
normalized paths (i.e. with forward slash). (Note that our getcwd()
implementation converts backslashes to forward slashes.) This means that a
full-fledged check is not needed.

This change is unnecessary; it really is only to skip an initial driver
prefix. If you want to support \\?\X: style paths, more work is needed here
so that you do not return X: or ? as the basename.

Do we really have to name everything "win32" when it is about Windows?

This change is wrong because the check is really only about the drive prefix:
It checks that we do not mistake c:/foo as a ssh connection to host c,
path /foo. Yes, it does mean that on Windows we cannot have remotes to hosts
whose name consists only of a single letter using the rcp notation (you must
say ssh://c/foo if you mean it).

Is skipping just two characters for \\ or \\?\whatever paths the right thing?

I doubt that this is correct. The purpose of this check is that "c:/" is the
last directory that is checked (on Unix it would be "/") when path components
are stripped from cwd. For UNC paths this must be adjusted depending on how
you want to support \\server\share and \\?\c:\paths: You do not want to check
whether \\server\.git or \\.git or \\?\.git are git directories.

This check is again to not mistake c:/foo as rcp style connection. No change
needed.
As I said, changes to other parts are perhaps also needed, most prominently,
make_relative_path() that prompted this patch. What about
make_absolute_path() and make_non_relative_path()?
