It seems that Windows 7's explorer is not capable to cope with paths
that contain forward slashes as path seperator. We thus substitute slash
with the platforms native backslash.

What bug are you actually addressing here? How can I reproduce it? My
experience on Windows 7 is that there is no problem but I assume I'm
doing a different operation. If I use the git-gui  "Explore working
copy" it opens the Windows explorer for me just fine.

Very strange, again another inconsistency between Windowses? I can
reproduce this even on Windows XP. I am using the current devel branches
of msysgit (msysgit and git). It happens when using the
"Repository->Explore working copy" menu item. The Windows 7 I tested
this on is 32-bit Professional. Which Windows 7 are you using?
