It is a feature of cygwin that // is used, in accordance with SUSv3 and
POSIX, as the implementation-defined start for remote paths.  It is a
feature of Linux that // is treated as an implementation-defined synonym
of /.  Live with it.  Bash completion will always take its time when
completing on // because it requires a network access, rather than a local
hard drive search of /, and there is nothing I can or want to do about it.
