I would prefer to catch the case in the compatibility layer. Here is a two patch series that would replace your 12/13 and 13/13.

Subject: mingw: verify that paths are not mistaken for remote nicknames

This added test case simply verifies that users will not be bothered with bogus complaints à la

	warning: unable to access '.git/remotes/D:\repo': Invalid argument
when fetching from a Windows path (in this case, D:\repo).
[j6t: mark the new test as test_expect_failure]
