Unfortunately, the Git cygwin mantainer decided to compile git without the NO_MMAP option (see the announcement http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-announce/2007-03/msg00005.html and a reply to my message http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2007-03/msg00567.html). Then, I guess if on the Wiki page WindowsInstall we should add a note about recompiling manually Git to work with FAT32. PS On the Git cygwin announcement, the mantainer Eric Blake said: "However, it means that this version does assume that you are not using FAT or FAT32 to hold your repositories, since they *do not store file permissions very accurately*." What file permissions are not stored accurately ??? Shouldn't be added somewhere (maybe on the GitFaq) a note about Git on FAT32 problems (if there are any) ??? bye --- Stefano Spinucci - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
