git on UNC path

git cmd

This worked for me:

git.exe clone "d:/dev/SDK" "//comp1/Proj/git/SDK/"

git cmd

Just use the UNC path - git doesn't care what cmd can and cannot do.

Old answer: Bind the UNC path to a drive letter (or use a directory symlink).

git cmd

First open a windows console, Run->cmd

pushd \\172.158.1.254\network_usb

now you should be able to 'cd' through all the directories on the drive. Optionally you can type a git init --bare nameOfnewRepo.git somewhere.

popd

Now open git bash and cd to the location where you want to clone the repo on the network drive

git clone //172.158.1.254/network_usb/pathto/nameOfnewRepo.git

Note that in git bash the slashes are forward and in the windows console backward.
