I had SSH working on my Windows 2003 server.... but my networks team 
wouldn't allow external access to port 22. Apparently SSH isn't secure 
enough, compared to the immutable titan that is IIS.  ;-)

I think it's probably faster for many operations even versus a LAN SMB 
share, and also mitigates certain problems.

It's harder to accidentally make a branch with a working tree. Repacks 
are inevitably going to be faster if the server does them, as opposed to 
the client doing them over an SMB share. Doing a repack on a big repo 
over a low-bandwidth VPN connection isn't much fun.

For permissions I believe you need to grant rights to
