Re: Can git be tweaked to work cross-platform, on FAT32?

Hi,

I would like to use git to develop a somewhat larger Perl project
which I would need to test and develop under both Linux and Windows,
i.e. I would need a repository on a FAT32 partition (to my knowledge,
still the only filesystem that can be fully accessed from both OSes -
correct me if I'm wrong) which could be accessed by two compatible git
executables, such that I could switch back and forth.

I would not use the _same_ repository from both Windows and Linux, but 
rather fetch/push from/to the Windows partition.

I am using Cygwin to compile git, and I have a USB Stick with FAT32 on 
which I push regularly. Important: since Linux is more intelligent about 
permissions, I had to initialize the repos with Windows.

To get started compiling, you might want to use the autoconf script.
