A few more comments from my side:
- The class overrides `equals()` but `hashCode()` has been removes. This
is a classical bug.
- The `compareTo()` method was a nice property (one could use Paths as
data types and keys). Would be nice to keep it.
- The main original problem was that the class did not support *mounted*
drives on Windows, as are common in environments with shared storage (Microsoft
Azure Cloud). I think these mounted drive paths start with `\\` or `//`.
