I was going to post this earlier, but wanted to search the archives
first. Here are the commands assuming you don't want to or can't
partition a drive and format as ufs (I don't care for HFS+ much). I
can't believe I didn't find the command in the git list archives, so
voilà:
$ hdiutil create -size 300m -fs UFS foo.dmg
...............................................................................
created: /Users/mitch/foo.dmg
$ hdiutil attach foo.dmg
/dev/disk2 GUID_partition_scheme
/dev/disk2s1 Apple_UFS /Volumes/untitled
$ cd /Volumes/untitled && git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/
git.git
... snipped ...
$ cd git && git status
# On branch master
nothing to commit (working directory clean)
After git clone in HFS+ land...
$ git status
# On branch master
# Untracked files:
# (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)
#
# gitweb/test/MaÌ?rchen
nothing added to commit but untracked files present (use "git add" to
track)
Should I just add this to the wiki? Then we can all go back to
ignoring the insane filesystems.

For those on Mac OS X: it is possible to create a case-sensitive HFS

use it with git. You even can just create a disk image and mount it.

I wouldn't quite try to use it as startup filesystem...

PS. I'm working on a proposal/patch for addressing the UFS/case
sensitivity issues.
Will try to mail something later this week.
