BUG REPORT INFORMATION

Description
Building on Windows 10 Pro
Target Hyper-V VM in same machine

NO build context is used in podman build.
COPY commands in Dockerfile fail

Steps to reproduce the issue:

0. Setup remote podman (Hyper-V Host/Windows Guest/Hyper-V guest VM Ubuntu 20.04)

1. Unzip attached dockerfile_dir.zip into a freshly created Windows directory of your choice. The created directory should look like this:
   .
   │ Dockerfile
   │ test.txt
   │
   └───data/
   test.txt

2. Run podman build -t test . in that freshly created Windows directory

Describe the results you received:

g:\Git\websites\test2\docker\test>podman  build -t test .
STEP 1: FROM ubuntu:20.04 AS test1
STEP 2: RUN     mkdir -p /etc/supervisord &&    ls -l /etc/supervisord
--> Using cache c08971feb7ac29cf971175ba5e7752451a1550aac69cc4692b494f8d6bcdd11a
--> c08971feb7a
STEP 3: COPY ./data/test.txt /etc/supervisord/
Error: error building at STEP "COPY ./data/test.txt /etc/supervisord/": checking on sources under "/var/tmp/libpod_builder923510428/build": copier: stat: "/data/test.txt": no such file or directory

Describe the results you expected:

This is from running docker build in the same directory

Turns out i can't attach files, the directory zip is here.

[nalind]

This looks like has to be specific to how podman-remote's client is archiving and transferring the build context to the service when run on a Windows host, since running the build using podman --remote on my Linux host builds a build context with the Dockerfile and other contents of the .zip file without issue.

When I try it with the remote client from a Windows box, the contents of the exploded build context include paths like

/var/tmp/libpod_builder056461086/build/Data\test.txt

Working up a patch.
