You shouldnât be doing anything shared-database-like to a network drive.  Network file sharing protocols typically either A) do not do locking correctly, or B) they run slow as molasses in order to provide proper locking semantics.  Since almost no one is willing to accept option B), you usually get option A).

I think if you set Git up on the server using one of the supported server protocols [*] your problem will go away.
