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.
