### Please describe the problem.

Internal Server Error

internal error, /home/michele/assistannex is not absolute

### What steps will reproduce the problem?

create a transfer repository on a usb drive (from windows) merge it with a
repository on linux, try to merge it on another target windows machine

### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?

git-annex version 5.20140128-g29aea74

> I'm not able to follow the steps to reproduce this, but I think 
> I see what the problem is. `isAbsolute` on windows does not think that
> unix-style path is absolute. Such a path can appear in a remote of a git
> repository, particularly if part of that repository was set up on a
> non-Windows system. While the remote won't be usable on Windows with a
> path like that, git-annex should not choke on the path either.
> I have fixed the code to deal with this.
