title: git: can I issue commands from two computers mounted to same file system
body: <p>I hope I can explain this in a simple way ...</p>
  
  <p>The files I am adding to git is on a Linux server. I access these files from various computers, depending on where I am. Sometimes it is with a Windows machine, with a drive mapped to a network drive. Sometimes I ssh into the server.</p>
  
  <p>I created my git repository while working on the Windows machine with a network drive mapped to the appropriate file system, lets call it W:. I was in W:\ when I created the repository.</p>
  
  <p>When I ssh into the server the directory would be something like: \home\mydir\WORKING_DIR\</p>
  
  <p>Can I now, while in my ssh session, issue git commands to update the repository on the Linux macine?</p>

  <p>This is not an answer, but it is too long for the comments.</p>
  
  <p>I'm getting to the end of my tether with git. It has now completely messed up everything. Trying to google for a solution is really fruitless. Nothing is specific enough and then when you do try something that might be relevant it just totally screws things up further. </p>
  
  <p>I tried changing the path in the config file manually. But I really didn't know what to change it to. If it should be relative, then relative to what?</p>
  
  <p>I tried a couple of things and ended up with /home/myname/myworkingdir/</p>
  
  <p>However, now it deleted my files again and set me back to some unknown state. Fortunately I backed my files up beforehand. So I tried to copy them back into place and add them again. I get "fatal: 'myfilename and path in here' is beyond a symbolic link. I have no idea what that is supposed to mean.</p>
  
  <p>git status just shows more things to be deleted.</p>
