Hi Guys, 

I'm currently testing Git on our office network and I noticed on 
the following site

http://git.or.cz/gitwiki/CygwinBinaryInstall

that is says

Use git on local NTFS disks -- Network drives disks don't support the
filesystem semantics GIT needs; for interoperability purposes you 
can store bare repositories on FAT32 disks.

Does anyone know if the above statement is still valid? Personally, I've 
tested cygwin Git with network drives a couple of times and I haven't 
encountered any problems, (yet!!). 

Any details on Git's limits with regards to this issue would be much
appreciated. 

Cheers
Peter
