How do I escape a single slash on command line to Git bash?

Question

When I do git work on Windows, I'm typically using Git bash and I'm having trouble passing in a simple slash to script:

$ bash --version
GNU bash, version 4.4.12(1)-release (i686-pc-msys)

$ python --version
Python 2.7.14
$ cat ~/tmp/args
#! /usr/bin/env python

import sys
import json

print json.dumps(sys.argv, indent=2, sort_keys=True)
$ ~/tmp/args /
[
  "C:/Users/jpfuntne/tmp/args",
  "C:/Program Files (x86)/Git/"
]
$ ~/tmp/args \/
[
  "C:/Users/jpfuntne/tmp/args",
  "C:/Program Files (x86)/Git/"
]
$ ~/tmp/args '/'
[
  "C:/Users/jpfuntne/tmp/args",
  "C:/Program Files (x86)/Git/"
]
$

I can't figure out how to get the slash to not get replaced with C:/Program Files (x86)/Git/. I also use Cygwin bash (GNU bash, version 4.4.12(3)-release (x86_64-unknown-cygwin)) for regular work on Windows and it doesn't have the same problem there. So I can work around it but it bugs me that I can't find a solution.

$ ~/tmp/args //
[
  "C:/Users/jpfuntne/tmp/args",
  "/"
]
