The official way to specify UNC names looks like this:
file://<host>/<path>
(Or file://server/share/morepath to follow your example)
#http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1738.html
But unfortunately Git doesn't support it.
I can put it on the to-do list...
But using "file:////" this is not an official syntax,
and should (in theory) not be used by any user.
Does anybody use it?
Or do people use simply "git clone //server/share/" ?
