docs: Test that `path_1` and `path_2` refer to the same repository.
  
          This is more reliable than testing that the strings match, since slightly
          different strings might refer to the same repository (consider small
          differences in a filesystem path for example, eg '//svr/foo', '/svr/foo').
  
          Returns:
              True if the paths refer to the same repository, False otherwise.
