**[maartenbrugman](https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=maartenbrugman)** commented Aha, a directory 'share' was created on my C drive. After a lot of experimenting I get it: anything between the first // and / is assumed to be 'localhost' and thus ignored, even if it contains backslashes. This results in the following behavior: url=file://\\nonexistenthost\share\repo --> error as expected url=file://\\nonexistenthost\share/repo --> a directory C:\repo is created I wonder if that is desirable. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
