I agree that performance is not ideal (although if you are on a fast
LAN, it probably would not matter much), but I do not recall any
specific bugs in that area. Can you elaborate?

Of course, if there are happy users of such setups, I would be glad to
hear as my precautions might well be unfounded for the recent versions
of Git.

I'm a happy user of git on network file systems (NFS and CIFS/SMB), although not a heavy user.

I wouldn't be surprised if there are some subtle POSIX-Win32 compatibility issues here between msysgit and Samba (POSIX GIT, ported to use Win32 file system functions, sending those Win32 requests to a Samba server, and the Samba server translating those Win32 requests back into POSIX functions).
