[New-bugs-announce] [issue5117] os.path.relpath problem with root drive directory on windows

[eliben]

New submission from eliben <eliben at gmail.com>:

This is correct:

relpath(r'd:\abc\jho', r'd:\abc')
=> 'jho'

But this isn't:
relpath(r'd:\jho', r'd:\\')
=> '..\jho'

Neither is this:
relpath(r'd:\jho', r'd:')
=> '..\..\..\jho'
