+ * 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
