Probably. `pathto(f, cwd='')` would return backslash path on Windows.
> I was trying to figure out where the conversion to Windows paths was done and thought it seemed like it was mostly just done in `util.pathto()`, so e.g. `m.rel()` would use backslashes and `m.abs()` would use slashes. (I just learned that there is a deprecated ui.slash config too, but that doesn't seem to change much.)
Correct. Path handling on Windows seemed inconsistent from the start. Some
commands used to use `dirstate.pathto()` which always returns backslash/slash
paths depending on ui.slash, and the others using `m.rel|abs|uipath()` don't.
Since we have `scmutil.getuipathfn()` now, maybe we can fix the inconsistency?
