canonpath usage on Windows

Hi list
I have found what I guess is a bug in the usage of canonpath on Windows.
util.canonpath contains the line
name = os.path.join(root, cwd, name)
On windows, if root and cwd both are absolute paths, then root is thrown
away.
I'm testing patch branch pbackout from Aptana studio, and this cause the
canonpath to be called with
root=C:\Users\Peer\src\my-repo
cwd=C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Aptana
myname=.hgpatchinfo/
In this case the above statement throws root away, and .hgpatchinfo is never
found, even though it is located at root.
I was not able to determine which code calls canonpath, but I'm pretty sure
the code has left the pbranch extension calling mercurial.patch.patch. My
guess is somewhere between patch and canonpath.
I can reproduce the problem from the command line, where --repository is
provided with a different location that current work dir.
cd C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Aptana
hg pbackout --repository C:\Users\Peer\src\my-repo pgraph
Regards,
Peer
