Edward, That being said, I personally believe that it might be nice to do the following:
1) Provide some sort of support for putting msysgit *binaries *onto a USB key, along the lines of the work you've done so far. 2) Be agnostic about the file system on the USB key, but sternly warn the user about the great deficiencies of FAT, namely, the lack of hard links and thus the huge increase in storage space required for said binaries. Perhaps, as was earlier suggested, the future elimination of git-* in favor of a single git binary will make life MUCH easier in that regard. (If I'm not mistaken, that's targeted by Junio for 1.5.6?) 3) And for heaven's sake do NOT include file system drivers in msysgit!! - Jim On Thu, Jun 19, 2008 at 3:40 PM, Edward Z.
