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).

Not only is it suboptimal, it's also not acceptable, plain and simple. If an individual wants to do that, sure, but it's simply not an appropriate solution in general for this problem. I certainly don't want to have to attach a disk image every time I want access to anything I keep in a git repo, nor do I want to be restricted to keeping everything within a certain filesystem on disk. Additionally, while I'm not certain it's impossible, it's certainly very difficult to attach a disk image without anybody logged into the system at the GUI, as diskarbitrationd won't be running.
