Research direction

Start by reproducing status retrieval with a PathSpec containing backslashes, then trace the PathSpec handling used by the status API. Compare it with an equivalent slash-separated path; done means both forms retrieve status correctly, with a regression test covering the backslash form.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

If you use paths like this "path\to\file" instead of "path/to/file" in the PathSpec parameter when retrieving status from a repository does not work.
