macOS actually has an excellent SMB client, so the options actually are: WebDAV, NFS (3.0 and 4.0), SMB, FSKit.

By excellent do you mean bearable? macOS’s SMB stack is certainly not excellent.
By bearable do you mean it exists? It's fucking shite.
Which is why I'm so angry they're killing AFP. It works so much better and is super easy to set up a server for on a Linux
Won't the SMB implementation be sufficient to mount git commits as folders?
No, because SMB doesn't support execute permissions. So either all your files are executable or none of them are.
I would say that in a source code tree that represents old commits I'd like none of the files to be executable. (It would miss some commits that only change the executable bit though.)
AFAIK, SMB doesn't support symbolic links.
Git should not have supported them either.
