He has cloned onto a Samba share on the server and not on his local machine. The reason for this is we have a central development server for our web applications with each developer having their own sub domain. Which I have documented blog.simonholywell.com/post/1516566788/team-development-server for anyone interested.

A quick experiment cloning locally and cloning onto Samba shows markedly different results like you suggest. I am using Ubuntu and I work over the same Samba shares as well in the same way. My operations using git-cli over Samba is much faster and almost identical to the same operation performed on the server itself over SSH.

I don't have time to read the article right now (and I know next to nothing about Apache), but are the developers RDP'ing or SSH'ing into the server and working there (if so, they should clone onto a local drive on the server), or are they developing locally and deploying onto the server (if so, they should clone first onto the dev server and then from the dev server onto a local drive on their own machines, and push changes to their dev server repo)?

I get what you mean. This particular developer does not have linux command line skills and works with HTML/CSS. So he works directly on the development server editing files via the samba share so he can see his changes in the web browser immediately. The git workflow you mention sounds good, but is a but cumbersome in practice given the type of work we do. It seems like I might have to look at the way his computer is working on the network.

Thanks for your help though and we are going to give GitExtensions a go at the end of the working day.
