yep, it will remain.

Path is always anchored to root, e.g. you do not need to specify first slash.

There is note in the manual that roots formatted in platform native form and all \
other paths are in "portable" form (slash "/" as splitter). However sometimes (not \
sure about when precicely) backslashes "\" works in non-root paths.

from http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/unison/download/releases/stable/unison-manual.html#pathspec:
 The path separator in path patterns is always the forward-slash character “/” — even \
when the client or server is running under Windows, where the normal separator \
character is a backslash. This makes it possible to use the same set of path patterns \
for both Unix and Windows file systems.

Again: in Windows, split root components by "\" but other paths (path, ignore=Path, \
etc.) by "/".
