How to use Windows network paths with Git Bash

git-bash, path, windows

Solution

Actually just `cd //servername/share/path/to/folder` where `//servername/` is followed by at least one shared folder.

Problem

Paths to network resources are denoted in Windows with the `\\servername\share\path\to\folder` syntax. How does one use such a folder within Git Bash, which uses Unix-style paths?
