When at the root dir of the repo, darcs pull works fine

When at one level deep, darcs failed:  Not a repository: ../z:/darcs/yhc-devel

When at two levels deep, bug generated as above.

All on WindowsXP.

Thanks

Reproduces on my machine when
* using "darcs pull" - using default repo,
* working on subdir,
* default repo is an absolute path and
* Windows.

As a workaround, user can give repo to be pulled from on commandline,
use relative paths or not issue darcs commands in subdirectories.

I think this is just because fix_maybe_absolute and unfix_maybe_absolute
don't recognize absolute windows paths (with the "c:" at the beginning).
Should be pretty easy to fix by adding another case analogous to the
existing one that checks for absolute posix paths.

What's the status of this issue?  I believe that Will Glozer told me in e-mail
that he had a patch that fixed it.

This patch is in the stable repository now:

So I presume this bug should be resolved?
