Description Mark Bradshaw 2002-01-24 02:40:30 AEDT 
Scp has some path issues when transferring to or from the root file system of a 
windows machine (cygwin).  It creates a path that begins with //, which 
indicates a UNC path on Windows.  I sent in patches for similar issues last 
year.  
 
The fix is a one line change to determine if the path is "/", and not double
up on the slashes.
