I think git-annex is quite good about getting the slashes the right way round these days.) -So it might be possible for git-annex to use that prefix and avoid this issue entirely. Haskell's FilePath library does understand that prefix (treats it as part of the drive). Since git-annex always uses the path to the top of the Repo when constructing the problimatic FilePaths, I might be able to just change the Repo constructor to add that prefix, and everything follow from that. I tried doing that, unfortunately this makes *git* fail, with \"fatal: relative path syntax cannot be used outside working tree\" when operating on such a repo.
