Needing to have my repos backupped and only on fat32 usb keys, I was
thinking to have the following layout:
on usb key one --> repo.linux
on usb key two --> repo.win

Then, on repo.win, I'll do:
# before daily work on windows
fetch from repo.linux
# after daily work on windows
push to repo.linux

Otherwise, on repo.linux:
# before nightly work on linux
fetch from repo.windows
# after nightly work on linux
push to repo.windows

It's possible, or I need a third bare repository between windows and linux ???

thanks
