My understanding was that git used hard-links internally in its
repository structure. If this is not the case, I don't see any need to
recommend NTFS.

However, I find NTFS tends to work better if I'm using exclusively
Windows, and is a PITA but not impossible to acces from Linux, so all my
USB keys will continue to be NTFS.

Unfortunately, with the heterogeneity of *nix distributions, having a
one-size fits all binary is not feasible. It's one of the curious
advantages Windows has over Linux, and one of the reasons why the
portable application community is almost exclusively Windows based.

Given that you have SSH and access to a compilation environment, it's
usually easier to just compile a version of Git in your home directory
(I've done this before).
