Thanks for the quick response :)

    $ git remote -vv
    origin  file:////network/path/to/git-repository (fetch)
    origin  file:////network/path/to/git-repository (push)

> Your URL is invalid.
> Try file://network/path/to/git-repository
    $ git remote add testing file://network/path/to/git-repository
    $ git remote -vv
    origin  file:////network/path/to/git-repository (fetch)
    origin  file:////network/path/to/git-repository (push)
    testing  file://network/path/to/git-repository (fetch)
    testing  file://network/path/to/git-repository (push)
    $ git fetch origin
    $ git fetch testing
    fatal: '/path/to/git-repository' does not appear to be a git repository
    fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

    Please make sure you have the correct access rights
    and the repository exists.

To be thorough:
    $ git remote set-url testing //network/path/to/git-repository
    $ git remote -vv
    origin  file:////network/path/to/git-repository (fetch)
    origin  file:////network/path/to/git-repository (push)
    testing  //network/path/to/git-repository (fetch)
    testing  //network/path/to/git-repository (push)
    $ git push testing test:master
    Counting objects: 3, done.
    Delta compression using up to 4 threads.
    Compressing objects: 100% (2/2), done.
    Writing objects: 100% (3/3), 276 bytes | 0 bytes/s, done.
    Total 3 (delta 1), reused 1 (delta 0)
    remote: error: object directory
/network/path/to/git-repository/objects does not exist; check
.git/objects/info/alternates.
    remote: fatal: unresolved deltas left after unpacking
    error: remote unpack failed: unpack-objects abnormal exit
    To //network/path/to/git-repository
     ! [remote rejected]   test -> master (unpacker error)
    error: failed to push some refs to '//network/path/to/git-repository'
Fetching works with both "origin" and "testing" remotes. Pushing does not.

To be even more thorough:
    $ cd ~/Temp
    $ git clone file:////network/path/to/git-repository
    Cloning into 'git-repository'...
    remote: Counting objects: 53426, done.
    remote: Compressing objects: 100% (10982/10982), done.
    remote: Total 53426 (delta 32970), reused 53361 (delta 32921)
    Receiving objects: 100% (53426/53426), 33.85 MiB | 8.15 MiB/s, done.
    Resolving deltas: 100% (32970/32970), done.
    Checking out files: 100% (2240/2240), done.
    $ rm -rf git-repository
    $ git clone file://network/path/to/git-repository
    Cloning into 'emf'...
    fatal: '/path/to/git-repository' does not appear to be a git repository
    fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

    Please make sure you have the correct access rights
    and the repository exists.

So cloning works with the "file:////..." URL.
