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 --- Stefano Spinucci -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
