Hi,

When mounted on Linux the object files were created rw on the share, but 
when mounted on Windows the temporary files are created with read-only 
attributes.

Thank you for your patch, forced push are now working from 
git-on-windows to smb folders shared from another Windows machine. I've 
not yet tested to push to the share with another user, but I think it 
should makes no diff.
