Re: [PATCH 14/13] test-wildmatch: avoid Windows path mangling

> On Windows, arguments starting with a forward slash is mangled as if

> rewritten with a leading "XXX" (e.g. "/abc" becomes "XXX/abc"), which
> will be removed by test-wildmatch itself before feeding the patterns
> to wildmatch() or fnmatch().
