When using patch.oldFile().path(); as per example seen here https://github.com/nodegit/nodegit/blob/master/examples/walk-history-for-file.js#L27 the path returned here stays with forward-slashes (/), where-as when you use nodejs' path it returns backwards-slashes. This now makes comparing part of the path quite hard.

The workaround I currently have it just to replace all slashes in the path string, so they match.
