…r throws an error if the paths are in different directories
Subject: Reimplement behavior from 2.1.2
Feature or Bugfix
Purpose
See my issue created. Hopefully I'm doing this right, this is my first pull request, kinda nervous
Detail
In essence, the sys.path.commonpath function throws a Value Error if the paths are in different drives. Sphinx has previously had no issue writing to a different drive than the source, but this validation step throws an error. Now, if the drives are different, the error is caught. Since the purpose of the function was to check if the source and static directories was the same, it would evaluate to True if commonpath didn't raise an error.
