Because you're on Windows (right?) if you have only drive C: in your system
you could put shared repo in the root of C:. That's all.
Of course in the case of multiple drives things are become more tricky.

But it's good in the case e.g. USB flash drive. One can forgot about
global shared repo, do a push on the USB drive, disconnect it, go to
anther computer and... OOPS!
