On my Windows device, mach lint is a hit-or-miss affair that I finally tracked down to https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/ee2ad260c25310a9fbf96031de05bbc0e94394cc/python/mozlint/mozlint/pathutils.py#54-70. This algorithm doesn't call realpath to have the filesystem normalize the path (see, e.g., Bug 1628726), and therefore it suffers from issues like https://bugs.python.org/issue40368.

Invoking realpath when linting the entire tree might be slow, so we might prefer a "hand-rolled solution" that accommodates drive letter cases but doesn't invoke filesystem APIs.

We hand-roll to avoid os.path.realpath invoking potentially
expensive filesystem APIs.
