cygpath -u converts quoted UNC paths to local

[Andrey Repin]

Greetings, All!

This can be considered "working by design", but it really imposes some serious
restrictions on interoperability with Cygwin, that I think can be avoided.

...

After some further testing, this seems to be affecting IP-based UNC paths
only.

The essence is this:

$ dir "\\192.168.1.5\wwwroot\ccenter\bin\online.sh"
26.10.2018  18:16               431 online.sh

$ cygpath -u \\192.168.1.5\wwwroot\ccenter\bin\online.sh
//192.168.1.5/wwwroot/ccenter/bin/online.sh

$ cygpath -u "\\192.168.1.5\wwwroot\ccenter\bin\online.sh"
/192.168.1.5/wwwroot/ccenter/bin/online.sh

$ cygpath -u \\HOSTING64.DARKDRAGON.LAN\wwwroot\ccenter\bin\online.sh
//HOSTING64.DARKDRAGON.LAN/wwwroot/ccenter/bin/online.sh

$ cygpath -u "\\HOSTING64.DARKDRAGON.LAN\wwwroot\ccenter\bin\online.sh"
//HOSTING64.DARKDRAGON.LAN/wwwroot/ccenter/bin/online.sh

$
