Re: Question re. git remote repository

But if you try to have one filesystem, with multiple people running git on their 
machines against that shared filesystem, I would expect you to have all sorts of 
problems.

What leads you to think you will have problems?

Why would there be more of a problem on a network file system as opposed to local file system that can be accessed by multiple users?

Linus seemed to think it should work:

And "git init" specifically has a "shared" option:

--shared[=(false|true|umask|group|all|world|everybody|0xxx)] 
Specify that the git repository is to be shared amongst several users. This allows users belonging to the same group to push into that repository. When specified, the config variable "core.sharedRepository" is set so that files and directories under $GIT_DIR are created with the requested permissions. When not specified, git will use permissions reported by umask(2).
