Because WSL file system access is slow, it might be necessary to use Windows git instead of WSL git for large repositories; e.g. mozilla-central.
However, you might still wish to run most tools (including phlay) directly in WSL.
In this case, paths returned from git will be Windows paths, but phlay needs a Unix path for the top level directory.
Therefore, detect this case and translate the path using wslpath.
This is a rather obscure use case (most people would either run everything in WSL or everything in Windows), so I totally understand if you don't want to merge this. However, I thought I'd submit it anyway in case it's useful to someone else.
