   git bisect points to 8af8f52 (gh-102003). @barneygale

   How I performed the search, for reproducibility

   • script

     git bisect start
     git bisect good v3.11.0
     git bisect bad main
     git bisect run .\gh-105881.cmd

   • gh-105881.cmd:

     @echo off
     setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
     
     git clean -fx -e gh-105881*
     call pcbuild\clean
     call pcbuild\build
     
     for /F "usebackq delims=" %%a IN (`call python.bat gh-105881.py`) do (
         if "%%a" == "PureWindowsPath('///tmp')" exit /b 1
     )

   • gh-105881.py:

     from pathlib import PureWindowsPath
     print(repr(PureWindowsPath(r"\\\tmp")))

   In Python 3.12, all Windows paths beginning // or \\ are considered to be UNC paths, and so we don't remove leading slashes. In previous versions of Python the rules were more complex. More info here: #96290 (comment)

   It's mentioned in the changelog (ctrl-f for "Fix handling of partial and invalid UNC drives in ntpath.splitdrive()") but the reST formatting of the entry is messed up. Will fix!
