Hi! Thanks for the PR. However, after looking more closely at #1075, I'm not certain that the issue is correct as reported. (And if it is something that we want, then we would only want that behavior on Windows.)

This is because you can, in fact, have a file named \ in a Git repository:

erg:Temp/testrepos/test% git init .
Reinitialized existing Git repository in /Users/ethomson/Temp/testrepos/test/.git/
zoidberg:Temp/testrepos/test% touch \\
zoidberg:Temp/testrepos/test% git add \\
zoidberg:Temp/testrepos/test% git status       
On branch master

Initial commit

Changes to be committed:
  (use "git rm --cached <file>..." to unstage)

    new file:   "\\"

zoidberg:Temp/testrepos/test% git ls-files --stage
100644 e69de29bb2d1d6434b8b29ae775ad8c2e48c5391 0   "\\"

So on at least non-Windows platforms where \ is never a directory separator, we would want to ensure that \ was not treated as a path separator.

My inclination is to say that we never want \ as a directory separator for Git repository paths, though. Git paths are separated by /, regardless of what the platform uses for its filesystem.

You know this better than myself, should I just wrap the test to run only on windows ( which I'm leaning towards ) or do you just want to close out #1075 or something else ?

I was intending to create a new pull request with my checkin 8c9791b for issue #760 but for whatever reason it landed on this PR -- backed out below
