Current language seems confusing:

Windows, the volume name that is the target of the mount point. ?\Volume{GUID}\ (on Windows source is called target)

This PR proposes a simplification per conversation John Howard:

On Windows, this MUST be a directory name.

I have no idea what the old line was saying, so +1 on simplifying it
(although I'm not sure if the new version misses anything important
that the old version was attempting to convey).

Also, Travis sees some trailing whitespace at the end of your new
line 1.

Looks fine but needs rebase.

LGTM

Besides needing a rebase, this appears to be suffering from the same Signed-off-by oddness as #536.
