You can't. git dubs such filesystems as "retarded" and simply can't
work around it. Imo, that's the only sensible thing to do.

Because linux kernel developers are expected to work with linux
development work using linux and nowhere near enough find it an
actual problem for anyone to care about fixing it. Note that all
build-scripts and configuration stuff will have to be fixed as
well. Complaining about it on lkml will probably have very little
effect unless you're a very valuable contributor and/or lots of
other people chime in to agree with you.
If I may ask; Why do you need to be able to work with a linux kernel
repository on windows?

Considering the successes of the wars on alcohol, poverty, drugs and
terror, I think we should give some serious thought to declaring war
on peace.
