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).
