Fix Windows filename issue, update Y/n Prompt, update readme #918
Conversation
Fix path separator bug. The command line converts path into local filesystem paths, then uses that to build server-side paths. This fixes the slashes to the format used on the server, even if the client uses a different format .(E.g. Windows uses a backslash.)
Removed two known issues: Doesn't work on Windows. But it does, though there may be some bugs. It does handle files which have the same name on the server. In a crude if functional fashion (errors out, or renames server-side).
Various yes/no promptes use Y/N but don't specify that the default is Y (yes). Change them to indicate that in the customary manner for command line programs, also used elsewhere in this program.

I'd rather leave this statement in there because drive has to ask folks to fix name clashes(or it can do it automatically). There is also a force mode that just overwrites.

I've added it back with a link to learn more.

Yeah unfortunately I personally don't have Windows machines nor would I be able to verify that it works properly on Windows so I am hesitant about removing this statement.

I've added back a modified statement: that it's unsupported but works somewhat.
| // This function appears to be meant to return server-side (/-separated) paths. | ||
| // But its input is client side (maybe / or \) separted paths. | ||
| // filepath.ToSlash fixes that. | ||
| relPath = filepath.ToSlash(relPath) |

Did you mean to instead replace:
- relPath = "/" + relPath
+ relPath = filepath.ToSlash(relPath)instead of keeping both?

No. It's been a while so I forget exactly what happened (see issue#917) , but it was something like on Windows the input might be something like "photos\myalbum". Which should then be converted into "/photos/myalbum" for use on the remove side, but instead was being turned in to "/photos\myalbum". So both the ToSlash (convert "photos\myalbum" into "photos/myalbum") and the "/" prepend are necessary.

How come the change of Y/n? I was thinking it is representative of Yes/No instead of Yes/no.

Ping @matthewblain. |
Ensure that nil is properly sent back after remote change/file resolution. This regression was caused by forgetting to send back that nil. This regression was caused by PR odeke-em#741. The consequence of the bug was that trying to push from non-existent folders would erraneously give back ```shell Resolving... Everything is up-to-date. ``` since the remotesChan channel would get closed after resolution without sending notifying whoever was resolving that the file or parent didn't exist remotely.

Update readme to be more accurate.
