I have all my RStudio projects in a shared Windows folder, say //server/share. I can successfully create a project at //server/share/project, and when I do so in an empty folder RStudio populates the working directory like this:

Note that because I've checked the option to create a local Git repository for the project, the project folder should have an extra file called .gitignore. Moreover, the "Git" tab in RStudio, which should look like this

actually looks like this, as if the Git folder was C:/Windows:

I understand RStudio's implementation of Git is still in its early stages (RStudio itself is yet to reach version 1), so I guess the workaround to this problem revolves using the Shell, but I have no idea how to make it work. I appreciate any help.

i got the error today. Here is my successful workaround

Map your //server/share to a drive, say U: (using Map network drive)

Now you use U: to create project and Git will be fine
