Thanks for all the extra info. A couple more comments:
1. I came across this issue when diagnosing the following pip issue ("pip
install git+file://" not working for Windows UNC paths):
https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/3783
2. URLs of the form "file:////root" (with four or more leading slashes) are
perhaps not valid URI's technically. See Section 3. "Syntax Components" of RFC
3986, where it says, "When authority [i.e. netloc] is not present, the path
cannot begin with two slash characters ('//')":
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986#section-3
However, I don't think that means Python shouldn't try to roundtrip it
successfully. Also, git-clone is apparently okay with URLs of this form, and
does the right thing with them.
