I would not use the _same_ repository from both Windows and Linux, but rather fetch/push from/to the Windows partition. I am using Cygwin to compile git, and I have a USB Stick with FAT32 on which I push regularly. Important: since Linux is more intelligent about permissions, I had to initialize the repos with Windows. To get started compiling, you might want to use the autoconf script. Ciao, Dscho
