Thanks for the idea, -- it seems to work. [In fact it is Linux, and those "another file-system" is FAT32 partition, so that, when rebooting to Windoze, this directory could be accessed from there. I can't put all the working tree there as there are parts of the tree that depend on file system being case-sensitive.] -- Sergei. - 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
