Hi,
I have a repo accessed through //server/share/foo/repo (Using msysgit).
.git/objects/info/alternates contains '../../../bare/objects'

Running 'git status' (or almost any other action) gives the following output: error: object directory /server/share/foo/bare/objects does not exist; check .git/objects/info/alternates.

Note that it tries to access /server instead of //server.
