Description
It's impossible to use GitFileSystem for absolute paths on windows since it includes ":" after drive name e.g
with fsspec.open("git://d:/repopath:ref@path") as f:
...
d will become repo path and /repopath:ref will be ref

Research direction
Start by tracing GitFileSystem handling of the Windows URL example through fsspec.open and its path parsing. Confirm how the drive letter, repository path, ref, and inner path are separated, then check existing tests for GitFileSystem or Windows paths. Done means an absolute path such as d:/repopath can be used without being mistaken for the repository name.
