Though I asked this following from a debate on IRC, it now looks as if
this will solve another of my problems too.

[snipped my "Windows story" ;-)]

I don't exactly understand why your reply with this Windows story to the
fsyncobjectfiles paragraph. But if you think that fsyncobjectfiles+msysgit

Not at all.  Since I was adding Gitte to the CC, I kept _all_ of
Linus' email quoted to provide him the full context.  My Windows story
pertains in general to the whole email, really.

Sounds like we can just do it with traditional Windows fileshares, as
long as we make sure no one does a "git gc" on the bare repo that is
being shared.  That's a very small price to pay!

It will work with the caveat you mention. I have such a setup myself.

And _that_ is what I was hoping to hear!  Thank you!  I can use it and
test it all I like, but hearing the guys who know say "it will work"
makes a big difference.
