In Git for Windows, we have an almost identical patch:

	https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/commit/bdd739bb2b0b

We just guard the call to system_path() behind a test whether podir is
already absolute, but these days, system_path() does that itself.

I am too little of a Perl expert to be helpful with the other patches, but
I would gladly runa build & test on Windows if you direct me to an
easily-pullable branch.

Ciao,
Johannes
