When specifying an absolute path without a drive prefix, we convert that
path internally. Let's make sure that we handle that case properly, too
;-)

This fixes the command

	git clone https://github.com/git-for-windows/git \G4W

This comment is true for the source part, template, but I can't find 
where the destination, wtemplate, suddenly gets the drive prefix. As far 
as I can see, xutftowcs_path() just does a plain textual conversion 
without any interpretation of the text as path. Can you explain it?

BTW, iswalpha() is not restricted to ASCII letters, I would rewrite it 
as (wtemplate[0] <= 127 && isalpha(wtemplate[0]).

It is legal on Windows for such a path to lack the drive prefix, also in
the wide-character version. So the explanation is: even `wtemplate` won't
get the drive prefix. It does not need to.

Very good point! Will fix.

I'm sorry, my question was extremely fuzzy. I actually wanted to know 
how the condition that you introduce in this patch can ever be true.

And after looking at the Git for Windows code, I could answer it myself: 
it cannot. Not with this patch alone. In GfW, there is additional code 
in xutftowcs_path() that massages wtemplate to receive a drive prefix; 
but vanilla Git does not have that code, so that is_dir_sep(template[0]) 
and iswalpha(wtemplate[0]) can never be true at the same time at this point.

So,... what's the conclusion?  The patch in the context of my tree
would be a no-op, and we'd need a prerequisite change to the support
function to accompany this patch to be effective?

Correct, that is my conclusion.

Moreover, there is no problem with your tree to begin with. I cloned 
into a destination without a drive letter:

C:\>git clone R:\j6t\expat.git \Temp\expat
Cloning into '\Temp\expat'...
done.

and it works fine. If I understood the description in patch 1/2 
correctly, this should have failed.

Thank you for the analysis. I'll look which patches in Git for Windows
introduced that regression, then, and fold this here patch series into
that one.

Thanks,
