Our working environment does not have access to local drive. So the working directory(which also means .git directory) has to be on a mapped network share. I measured the performance of running "git clone" on a network share. It is 60 times slower than running on local drive "C:".

Is there any parameter which I can tune to improve the performance a little bit?

This is for SAS so the folder directory is in SAS environment. I can also see other use cases where local folders are not allowed for security reasons.

There's not much you can do in Git itself other than turning on the "don't lstat files" option (core.ignoreStat). Doing so is usually a bad idea because it makes actually using Git extraordinarily difficult: you have to keep track of any file you've modified.

Your best bet is simply "don't do that". Git is already a distributed version control system. It really wants to have the entire repository, and your working tree, locally, privately, on an un-shared disk on an un-shared file system. Do that. Do not attempt to subvert it; this will just make both you and Git miserable.¹ Put a drive (preferably an SSD) on the machine.
