Description

I've heard about Winfsp landing 1.0 which gives Windows the ability to use a fuse-like fs.

https://winfsp.dev/

I hope someone can make borg mounts work on Windows!

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine existing mount implementation (e.g., borg/fuse.py) and research how to use Winfsp's FUSE like interface on Windows. Develop a backend for Windows file system mount.
