I was going to post this earlier, but wanted to search the archives  
first. Here are the commands assuming you don't want to or can't  
partition a drive and format as ufs (I don't care for HFS+ much). I  
can't believe I didn't find the command in the git list archives, so  
voilà:

$ hdiutil create -size 300m -fs UFS foo.dmg
...............................................................................
created: /Users/mitch/foo.dmg
$ hdiutil attach foo.dmg
/dev/disk2          	GUID_partition_scheme          	
/dev/disk2s1        	Apple_UFS                      	/Volumes/untitled
$ cd /Volumes/untitled && git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/ 
git.git
... snipped ...
$ cd git && git status
# On branch master
nothing to commit (working directory clean)

After git clone in HFS+ land...
$ git status
# On branch master
# Untracked files:
#   (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)
#
#	gitweb/test/Märchen
nothing added to commit but untracked files present (use "git add" to  
track)

Should I just add this to the wiki? Then we can all go back to  
ignoring the insane filesystems.
