There's a patch that makes it work, but only for one connection, which is likely not what you need. > My next 2 options are (1) make everyone use shared folders mapped to > G: or something and clone/push/pull from there, even though the main > git FAQ says SMBFS is not advisable, or (2) go for the full cygwin > experience, openssh and all... (1) As long as your repository on G: is bare, you should be fine. This is how I provide access to repositories, and I'd recommend it to you, too. It is discouraged to have the *working directory* on SMBFS because the huge number of stat() calls during regular git usage make a bad user experience. (2) If you go for cygwin, you could do so only on the server and run git-daemon under cygwin, but still use msysgit on the clients. -- Hannes
