On Windows, the runner inherits whatever path casing is used to start it (e.g. c:\actions-runner vs C:\actions-runner). NTFS is case-insensitive but tools like git's includeIf.gitdir do exact string matching, causing auth failures when the casing doesn't match the canonical NTFS path. This adds PathUtil.GetCanonicalPath which uses the Win32 GetFinalPathNameByHandle API to resolve paths to their NTFS canonical casing. It is called when resolving the runner root directory, so all derived paths (workspace, temp, etc.) use the correct casing. Fixes actions/checkout#2345
GitHub Actions Runner
The runner is the application that runs a job from a GitHub Actions workflow. It is used by GitHub Actions in the hosted virtual environments, or you can self-host the runner in your own environment.
