Re: window command in bash

Exactly. Case in point: UNC paths. Both "\\machine\share"
and"\machine\share" will refer to the string '\machine\share'. To
really reference a UNC path, you'll need to say "\\\\machine\\share".
So why not double the backslashes anyway and save yourself the confusion?
Personally I just say //machine/share. Why count all those backslashes
when forward slashes work just fine!
(Yeah, yeah, they don't work fine for Windows programs. Instead
$(cygpath -w //machine/share))
