Subject: Re: separate-git-dir doesn't work with mapped drive

There seems to be some regression fixes regarding dos drives. The one
that caught my eyes is 7fbd422 (relative_path should honor
dos-drive-prefix - 2013-10-14) but it's not released yet. And I'm not
sure if msys branch picks it up yet even if you want to rebuild and
test it yourself. Copying Jiang Xin, maybe he can tell if that commit
should fix what you describe here, or it's a new bug.
