Eshell uses eshell-parse-colon-path to split $PATH. The paths returned have a
slash appended, so an absolute path can be contructed simply by concatenating
path and filename. On windows the result list of eshell-parse-colon-path is
extended further by "." (without a slash).

This was no problem for me until I wanted to run git in a directory created by
"git worktree add". When eshell was looking for git it found the file ".git"
whereas it should have been looking for "./git". The result was an error
message.
