I recompiled git with NO_MMAP and used it successfully, then I added a
note in the wiki
page http://git.or.cz/gitwiki/WindowsInstall on how to compile git to
work on a FAT32
filesystem.

Now, two questions...

if you are sure that there are more problems with using MMAP, shouldn't NO_MMAP
be commented better in the Makefile and in INSTALL, pointing out to
use it always on
cygwin ???

finally on cygwin there is a precompiled git package (v 1.4.4.1);
however, I found if it was
compiled *with* MMAP support... should I write to the cygwin-apps list
asking for a
different compilation (with NO_MMAP), or for the majority of the users
the standard
compilation is a better choice ???

bye
