> On Windows only, when resolving a child path against a parent, do not interpose a file separator (slash) if the parent is a two-character string consisting of a drive letter followed by a colon. In this case the concatenation represents a directory-relative path [1]. The core regression tests pass with this patch applied as does the test added in this patch; the new test fails without the implementation change.
