Re: [egit-dev] Push using file:// protocol

UNC paths should have five slashes.
The logic being a url is constructed as follows:

file://<optional server>/<path on server>
generally the server is left blank (localhost) as there is no standard on how a file url should behave if you do specify a server.
The path will be the unc path with the slashes switched
Eg \\remoteserver\remotepath\file -> //remoteserver/remotepath/file

Giving you a final form of
File://///remoteserver/remotepath/file
