### Please describe the problem.

There was this springy little one that sprung -- just like a seedling :)

Running the test QuickCheck.prop_relPathDirToFileAbs_basics fails (again) in a particular case (but only occasionally).

Running the following fails:

[[!format sh """
jkniiv@AINESIS MINGW64 /c/annx
$ ./git-annex test --jobs=1 -p QuickCheck.prop_relPathDirToFileAbs_basics --quickcheck-replay=586868 2>&1 | tee git-annex.test--p-QuickCheck_prop_relPathDirToFileAbs_basics.LOG~201

If you remove the option `--quickcheck-replay=586868`, the test usually passes.

### Have you had any luck using git-annex before? (Sometimes we get tired of reading bug reports all day and a lil' positive end note does wonders)

Git Annex is great. I use it several times a week with my multigigabyte backups, where it gives structure to my image-based backup routines, so you could say I'm a believer. :)
