You don't need to. But remember that the stat informations are likely to 
be borked. For example, when you do a "git-status" on a sizable working 
tree on that stick, it will take a long, long time whenever you switch 
OSes. Basically the same amount of time as if git did not have an index!

It could be possible that the index is saved in a slightly different 
format, due to different alignment strategies. Maybe 64-bit vs 32-bit has 
differences there. I have no idea.
