This is a totally different issue from the UNC issue you brought up.  May 
I suggest to fix the UNC thing first, and if you feel inclined, take care 
of the relative DOS drive path afterwards?

The relative DOS drive path is also not something I find overly pressing, 
as I work from the Git bash, as you know, which does not translate 
POSIX-style paths into such relative DOS drive paths.
