Description
Original report https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/issues/2990#issuecomment-239700617
When running cargo run inside E:\hello_world cargo is printing warnings like
warning: could not canonicalize path: 'E:\hello_world'
That's pretty surprising since there's nothing interesting about that path.

Review the linked original Cargo report and reproduce the warning by running cargo run inside E:\hello_world on a network drive. Trace where the path is canonicalized and determine what behavior should replace the warning; done means the unexpected warning no longer appears for this path.
