Thanks Sebastian!

However, since the git.git project is not comfortable with the concept of pull requests (which is why you submitted this patch via mail), I believe that we have to explain the rationale in the commit message. So here goes my attempt:

-- snip -- On Linux, we can get away with assuming that the directory separator is a forward slash, but that is wrong in general. For that purpose, the is_dir_sep() function was introduced a long time ago. By using it in safe_create_leading_directories(), we proof said function for use on platforms where the directory separator is different from Linux'. -- snap --

Hmm? Dscho
