@trysis Nor do zsh, ksh, pdksh, dash, hush, … Of the shells commonly found on Linux, bash is the only one that preserves a leading //.

For the record, fish does not do this. If you run cd //; pwd, or fish -c 'cd //; pwd', you get /, and if you run the former with a default prompt, the prompt has just 1 slash.

Interesting; when I do bash -c 'cd //; /bin/pwd', I get //. Cygwin (8.23-4) with bash version 4.1.17(9)-release and pwd (GNU coreutils) 8.23. Even more surprising, I still get // if I do /bin/pwd -P.
