vfat

[marc gonzalez-carnicer]

Hi,

I use bzr to sync a collection of personal info files, such
as addresses, todo list, etc (the information usually
stored on a pda). I keep a repository at my computer
at work, which runs windows. Since (afaik) it is not
possible to mount ext2 (or ext3, ...) partitions under
windows, even using cygwin, I am forced to use vfat
for that computer.

I have a problem when I perform merges with a pen
drive to bring data at home. bzr status tells that
all the files properties have changed, and I record
more changes than I want to.

This page on the bazaar web site says vfat is not
appropiate for use with bzr. But then, what can i do?
Is there a hack i can do?
