Shared Git Repository on Windows File Server (Fail)

Shared Git Repository on Windows File Server (Fail)

Before anyone jumps in and refers me to a prior post, let me say, I've
gone through all of them with no success..
As the title says, I'm trying to setup a shared git repository on a
windows file server using local path (e.g. s:\SharedProjects\foo), where
each developer has a local repository (e.g. c:\MyProjects\foo).
So far I've managed to create / clone the repository, but I can't push
back changes from local user to shared dir. I've tried setting it as
"--bare" repository, I've tried setting "--git-dir" and "--work-tree", but
I always different problems..
Setting the repo as bare, all of the git-dir files (.git/) reside
immediately below my root directory (s:\SharedProjects\foo[config, HEAD,
..]), and does not allow me to perform other repository tasks such as "git
ls-files" or "git status", saying these opperations must be made in the
working directory.
The I set the working directory above my bare repository (e.g.
\SharedProjects\bar), and I can't perform any operations on that because
it doesn't recognize a git repository :|
I'm going crazy here.. I've been trying every which way I can to set the
--git-dir and --work-tree, setting my repository as --bare
--share=everybody.. I lost track of where I'm at now!
Can someone please give specific step by step instructions on crating a
repository (on a windows file share) that will allow for central
repository management as well as local repository push / pull operations?
Thank you all in advance!
