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). I can't believe I didn't find the command in the git list archives, so voilà: $ hdiutil create -size 300m -fs UFS foo.dmg ............................................................................... created: /Users/mitch/foo.dmg $ hdiutil attach foo.dmg /dev/disk2 GUID_partition_scheme /dev/disk2s1 Apple_UFS /Volumes/untitled $ cd /Volumes/untitled && git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/ git.git ... snipped ... $ cd git && git status # On branch master nothing to commit (working directory clean) After git clone in HFS+ land... $ git status # On branch master # Untracked files: # (use "git add ..." to include in what will be committed) # # gitweb/test/Märchen nothing added to commit but untracked files present (use "git add" to track) Should I just add this to the wiki? Then we can all go back to ignoring the insane filesystems.
