Can git be tweaked to work cross-platform, on FAT32?

Hi there,

I would like to use git to develop a somewhat larger Perl project
which I would need to test and develop under both Linux and Windows,
i.e. I would need a repository on a FAT32 partition (to my knowledge,
still the only filesystem that can be fully accessed from both OSes -
correct me if I'm wrong) which could be accessed by two compatible git
executables, such that I could switch back and forth.

Before describing how I (unsuccessfully, which is perhaps not
surprising, as I'm C-illiterate) hacked the Makefile to compile two
git siblings, I would like to generally ask whether this is possible
at all (or should be possible in theory, in which case I'm willing to
test extensively), whether with Cygwin or not. The preliminary
impression was that the Linux version would not accept a repository on
FAT32 (it did work with more Unixish filesystems). - I do not need the
networking capabilities, BTW (standalone development), if that is an
issue in any way.

Thanks for any hint!

Florian
