git clone / git pull to USB memory stick (FAT) and symlinks

Hi,

For a given project I'd like to have some USB memory sticks, which I'd like to keep up to date.

I thought about cloning a remote git repository onto the stick
and performing
- regular pulls in order to update the USB stick
- occasional pushes in orderto publish changes performed on the stick.

Now my questions:

1.) Ignore skip / symlinks ----------------------------- The git repository might contain symlinks (as it was created on a linux host)

Is there any way to perform a git clone / pull and just skip any symlink in the working directory

2.) Avoiding file permission issues: Is this sufficient ---------------------------------------------------------

I read about some config setting which should avoid problems with the rather limited file permissions on a FAT file system

git config --add core.fileMode false

3.) Any other special config settings ----------------------------------------- Are there any other special preparations to be done fi I'd like to have a non bare git repository on a memory stick.

Thanks for your suggestions
