Description:
In Git Bash, Windows volumes are represented as /<drive letter>.
This peculiarity appears to break the 'dirspell' and 'cdspell' options,
which fail when they try to correct a directory path which does not
follow the traditional unixy filesystem structure,
such as having users' home directories in '/home', even though a
possibly valid path might be available.
I don't use Windows or MinGW, so a fix for this will have to wait for
someone who does to take a shot at it.
