Re: [PATCH] fix pushing to //server/share/dir paths on Windows

There is a change in behavior: \\server\share is not transformed
into //server/share anymore, but all subsequent directory separators
are rewritten to '/'. This should not make a difference; Windows can
handle the mix.
I saw Dscho had a similar "windows can handle the mix" change in an
earlier development cycle, I think, and this is being consistent.
 Another long-standing bug uncovered by the quarantine series.

 Dscho, it looks like this could fix the original report at
 https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/979

 This patch should cook well because of the change in behavior.
 I would not be surprised if there is some fall-out.

 The other bug I'm alluding to, I still have to investigate. I do
 not think that it can be counted as fall-out.

By resetting dst0 here, we ensure that up_one that is triggered by
seeing "../" will not escape the \\server\share\ part, which makes
sense to me.
