Thank you for filling out a Git bug report!
Please answer the following questions to help us understand your issue.

What did you do before the bug happened? (Steps to reproduce your issue)
Installed podman and executed: "$ podman run -p 8081:80 -v $PWD:/usr/share/nginx/html nginx"

What did you expect to happen? (Expected behavior)
Expected the nginx image to run and map the current directory to the '/usr/share/nginx/html' directory.

What happened instead? (Actual behavior)
Received the error "Error: invalid container path "\\Program Files\\Git\\usr\\share\\nginx\\html", must be an absolute path".

What's different between what you expected and what actually happened?
I expected the docker $PWD (or ${PWD} or $(pwd) or $HOME) to expand to the actual working directory, but it seems to expand to the directory of the gitbash executable.

Anything else you want to add:
