We have a similar situation at $dayjob. Each developer who is ot use git installs it locally. Each developer has their own local repo. The shared (bare) repo is on a network drive, and that drive is mapped:

c:> net use g: \\server1\Engineering

Then individual developers can clone do something like this from bash:

$ git clone file://g:/path/to/repo/on/G

The only real hitch is that (in the largest single fustercluck or all time) windows likes using backslash as a path separator.

But mapping the network drive to a drive letter allows you to avoid almost all of the pain.
