I couldn't get this setup to work before when I tried  to use git on
Linux; there is some sort of race. It may be related to flock support?

$ pwd
/mnt/9n/usr/fst
$ ls -l go
ls: cannot access 'go': No such file or directory
$ git clone https://go.googlesource.com/go
Cloning into 'go'...
error: could not write config file /mnt/9n/usr/fst/go/.git/config: File exists
fatal: could not set 'core.filemode' to 'true'
$

After a little digging, there is a 9P2000.L variant that seems to
kitchen-sink all Linux fs calls into 9P. There's a file server
(https://github.com/chaos/diod) that implements it. It would be
interesting to know if your case fails using it.  I'll be able to try
it with git in a few hours.
