You don't need to. But remember that the stat informations are likely to be borked. For example, when you do a "git-status" on a sizable working tree on that stick, it will take a long, long time whenever you switch OSes. Basically the same amount of time as if git did not have an index! > Are planned/expected OS-specific files in the repo preventing me to use > the same whenever I'm working??? It could be possible that the index is saved in a slightly different format, due to different alignment strategies. Maybe 64-bit vs 32-bit has differences there. I have no idea. Ciao, Dscho
