We had occasionally run into locking problems with 1.5.4.x with
renames between different directories. This should be fixed in
1.6.0.3, but we have since migrated to a server model so I don't have
any way of testing this.
None of these problems ever caused repository corruption, only errors
during fetch/clone that were resolved by repeating the operation.
Using ssh: or git: does seem to be a bit faster than NFS. The
configuration we did find completely unworkable was using git with the
work tree on NFS.
