There also is a discussion on //server/share path on msysgit, that was

work, I think the sanest course of action is to revert it...

IFAICS, this patch is not a regression w.r.t. //server/share paths.

The discussion is about that support of //server/share paths in msysgit is 
poor in general. For example, it is not possible to

  git clone //server/share/repo.git

with different failure modes depending on whether forward slashes or 
backslashes are used.
