Description

### What did you expect to happen?

Open the remote file (e.g `/ssh:host:path/file.org`) in emacs.

### What actually happened?

I get the following error:

```
Directory `/ssh:host:path/' does not exist! Create it? (y or n)
```

Entering 'n' results with:

```
Error (doom-first-file-hook): Error running hook "global-git-commit-mode" because: (file-missing Setting current directory No such file or directory /ssh:host:path/file/)
```

### Describe your attempts to resolve the issue

Running the following, excluding Doom, opens the file successfully:

```
emacs -Q /ssh:host:path/file.org
```

Additionally, I can successfully open the file with Doom as long as I run `emacs` without the file as the command line argument and open the file after Emacs is open.

### Steps to reproduce

```
emacs /ssh:host:path/file.org
```
