With Git v1.5.0.3 (binary distributed with cygwin) I encountered the
FAT32 problem described in the Git mailing list thread "Can git be
tweaked to work cross-platform, on FAT32?"
(http://marc.info/?l=git&m=116602583801694&w=2).
Then, the solution proposed was to compile Git with NO_MMAP (message
in the thread above http://marc.info/?l=git&m=116638128627549&w=2).
Some days ago Git developer Shawn O. Pearce confirmed the needing to
use NO_MMAP, making NO_MMAP=1 default on Cygwin (thread "using the
same repo with different OS ", message
http://marc.info/?l=git&m=117268638722790&w=2).
Then, I hope the cygwin Git binary 'll be compiled with NO_MMAP;
otherwise, needing to work on a FAT32 fs, I'll have to recompile Git
manually.
thanks in advance
