I am also not quite sure if you can get away with having the same offset
for both: if I have "C:\blah" and strip off "C:", I always have a
directory separator to bounce against, whereas I do not have that if I
strip off the two "\\" of a UNC path.  Besides, I maintain that the host
name, and maybe even the share name, should not ever be stripped off!

Advices needed:

d:somedir (when cwd=d:\msysgit, == /) may be tricky to fix.

This is a totally different issue from the UNC issue you brought up.  May 
I suggest to fix the UNC thing first, and if you feel inclined, take care 
of the relative DOS drive path afterwards?

The relative DOS drive path is also not something I find overly pressing, 
as I work from the Git bash, as you know, which does not translate 
POSIX-style paths into such relative DOS drive paths.

Ciao,
