As you suspect, mapping a drive letter is no different from using the
UNC path directly; you're still accessing over a network filesystem.
However, according to http://web.mit.edu/ghudson/info/fsfs , using FSFS
over a network filesystem is OK, but read the note about locking in that
doc.
In short, if it's working for you, go with it. It sounds like you're the
only one using the repository, so file locking should not be a concern
for you anyway.
