They should work, too. If a tool is missing, ought to notice it soon enough.
These are important to note, though:
- The tools must not do their own LF->CRLF conversion when they are used in
a pipeline, "just because they know it better".
- GNU tar is needed (in the cpio emulator).
- ln must be able to create hard links on NTFS or do the equivalent of
cp -p
- GNU cp -al will be needed and should create hard links on NTFS. (I plan to
use it for local clones in place of cpio -pl.)
Any feedback on how git works for you with these tools is appreciated.
