Can you explain further what you hope to gain by using a shared drive for
development?

Git works best with local drives.  It is a fast version control system in
large measure because the vast majority of its operations work on the local
file system.  If you make git operate on a shared file system, you've now
inserted a slowdown (network access) into all the operations performed by
developers, all day long.  That seems like a serious penalty for the most
active portion of a developer's working day.

Git users have the notion of a "feature branch" which allows a developer to
submit something to be evaluated by Jenkins, without making that change
available on the authoritative branch.  You could investigate a feature
branch based workflow, and use Jenkins to automate the merge from feature
branches to the authoritative branch.

Alternately, you could consider using Gerrit, which provides a code read
facility and related workflow as a layer over a git repository.
