Why `git config -f`command doesn't work with a file of network folder for me? -

git windows 2.4.5.
works fine local config-file:

git config -f "d:\\dev\\settings\\gitconfig.txt" http.proxy http://@proxy2:8080 

i need same config-file located @ network in our domain. config-file common developers of our company , has common settings (the proxy settings, example). have full rights working directory. launch this:

git config -f "\\\\hyprostr\\dfs\\groups\\developers\\settings\\gitconfig.txt" http.proxy http://@proxy2:8080 

but doesn't work. see message:

if press y same message again...

why happen , how can fix it?

upd

this works fine:

echo 123 > "\\\\hyprostr\\dfs\\groups\\developers\\settings\\gitconfig.txt" 

and works fine too:

mv "\\\\hyprostr\\dfs\\groups\\developers\\settings\\gitconfig.txt" "\\\\hyprostr\\dfs\\groups\\developers\\settings\\gitconfig2.txt" 

so, don't understand reason of problem...

this (and this) problems fixed in git windows 2.5.2 (thank you, vonc):

many bugs have been fixed mingw-64 bash on top of git windows based.
