Klaus pointed out that there are two problems that keep
|
|
|
|
|
git-annex from being used on USB keys, that would typically
|
|
|
|
|
be VFAT formatted:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Use of symlinks, which VFAT does not support. Very hard to fix.

Instead, just use [[/bare_repositories]] on the key,
|
|
|
|
|
they're supported now.

|
|
- Use of ":" in filenames of object files, also not supported.
|
|
|
|
|
Could easily be fixed by reorganizing the object directory.

[[Done]]; in annex.version 2 repos, colons are entirely avoided in
|
|
|
|
|
filenames. So a bare git clone can be put on VFAT, and git-annex
|
|
|
|
|
used to move stuff --to and --from it, for sneakernet.
