## Message

```
Fix git features not working when a Windows host collaborates with a unix guest (#43515)

We were using `std::path::Path::strip_prefix` to determine which
repository an absolute path belongs to, which doesn't work when the
paths are Windows-style but the code is running on unix. Replace it with
a platform-agnostic implementation of `strip_prefix`.

Release Notes:

- Fixed git features not working when a Windows host collaborates with a
unix guest
```
