Some conversion may be done in mingw.c:

So what I understand, '/' in Git are already converted into '\' if needed ?
Only if needed, and there are not many places where this is the case.
(Actually, I can't find one place where we do.) In particular, typical
file accesses does not require the conversion.
It seams that we may wnat a function get_start_of_path(uncpath),
which returns:
get_start_of_path_win("//?/D:/very-long-path") "/very-long-path"
We have offset_1st_component().
