It almost makes me wonder if you want not a per-repository but a
per-machine configuration, i.e. "Whichever repository I am
accessing, either on a local filesystem or shared over the network,
readdir() on my box reports wrong paths, and I need correction."
That, or "if it hurts, don't do the remote mount then."
