Clone GIT from SAMBA network share

Has anybody successfully cloned GIT repository to Ubuntu from a SAMBA network share?

I have access over file manager and can ls over command line, but cannot clone

Also, in git cola, qgit and gitg I cannot see mounted SAMBA network share.

Use this manual (section 'Connecting using CIFS') to mount remote repository:

sudo mount -t cifs //IP_ADDRESS/git/repo.git ~/git/mnt/repo.git -o username=samba_user,noexec

Then,

git clone ~/git/mnt/

Another way to do this would be to clone gvfs user-mounts

git clone /run/user/<username>/gvfs/path_to_repo/repo.git

This avoids mounting issues
