IFAICS, this patch is not a regression w.r.t. //server/share paths.

The discussion is about that support of //server/share paths in msysgit is poor in general. For example, it is not possible to

  git clone //server/share/repo.git

with different failure modes depending on whether forward slashes or backslashes are used.
