Passing in `c:\\foo\\foo` when `c:\\foo` doesn't exist causes it to never return.\r\n\r\nFor drives that don't exist, `x:\\foo` returns the appropriate error. `x:\\foo\\foo` never returns.\r\n\r\n### Reproduction steps\r\nHere's how it's being called from LibGit2Sharp: \r\nhttps://github.com/libgit2/libgit2sharp/blob/72a5be4860779e5d2fd6d2900d3dcc119588fbc9/LibGit2Sharp/Core/Proxy.cs#L2471-L2484\r\n### Expected behavior\r\n`git_repository_init_ext` should return with appropriate error code.\r\n### Actual behavior\r\n`git_repository_init_ext` never returns\r\n\r\n### Version of libgit2 (release number or SHA1)\r\n572e4d8c1f1d42feac1c770f0cddf6fda6c4eca0\r\n\r\n### Operating system(s) tested\r\nWin10","author":{"url":"https://github.com/bording","@type":"Person","name":"bording"},"datePublished":"2019-03-08T22:20:50.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":6},"url":"https://github.com/5013/libgit2/issues/5013"}
