 * from core Git commands.  So, without bringing in any of the VFS for
 * Git code, do a simple config test for a published config setting.
 * (We do not look at the various *_TEST_* environment variables.)

/*
 * Remote working directories are problematic for FSMonitor.
 *
 * The underlying file system on the server machine and/or the remote
 * mount type dictates whether notification events are available at
 * all to remote client machines.
 *
 * Kernel differences between the server and client machines also
 * dictate the how (buffering, frequency, de-dup) the events are
 * delivered to client machine processes.
 *
 * A client machine (such as a laptop) may choose to suspend/resume
 * and it is unclear (without lots of testing) whether the watcher can
 * resync after a resume.  We might be able to treat this as a normal
 * "events were dropped by the kernel" event and do our normal "flush
 * and resync" --or-- we might need to close the existing (zombie?)
 * notification fd and create a new one.
 *
 * In theory, the above issues need to be addressed whether we are
 * using the Hook or IPC API.
 *
 * So (for now at least), mark remote working directories as
 * incompatible.
 *
 * Notes for testing:
 *
 * (a) Windows allows a network share to be mapped to a drive letter.
 *     (This is the normal method to access it.)
 *
 *     $ NET USE Z: \\server\share
 *     $ git -C Z:/repo status
 *
 * (b) Windows allows a network share to be referenced WITHOUT mapping
 *     it to drive letter.
 *
 *     $ NET USE \\server\share\dir
 *     $ git -C //server/share/repo status
 *
 * (c) Windows allows "SUBST" to create a fake drive mapping to an
 *     arbitrary path (which may be remote)
 *
 *     $ SUBST Q: Z:\repo
 *     $ git -C Q:/ status
 *
 * (d) Windows allows a directory symlink to be created on a local
 *     file system that points to a remote repo.
 *
 *     $ mklink /d ./link //server/share/repo
 *     $ git -C ./link status
