pipenv run in the same directory from cmd.exe and bash (git for windows) use different virtualenvs

Issue description

On a Windows 10 machine, I have

• native Python 3.7 from python.org installed.
• git for windows installed

Using cmd.exe I then

1. cd into a directory that has a Pipfile but no virtualenv created for it
2. pipenv shell

And I watch as a virtualenv is created in ~.virtualenvs with the modules specified in the Pipfile.

Then using bash.exe from git for windows, I

• cd into the same directory from above
• pipenv shell

And I watch as a new and different virtualenv is created in ~.virtualenvs

Expected result

I would have expected pipenv run within bash of git for windows to use the virtualenv created by pipenv run within cmd.exe. (Note, powershell, and vscode all use the virtualenv created in the cmd.exe shell)

Actual result

Two different virtualenvs are created

Steps to replicate

I’m both happy and sad I guessed right 😃 Path casing on Windows is particularly difficult to get right, and we certainly didn’t do it right from the beginning, and unfortunately it is difficult to fix now (without breaking backward compatibility and making everyone angry, at least). I believe we made some changes recently to improve the situation, but I am not sure whether this is included. I’ll test this a bit and see if it is possible.
