I ran there: git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linville/wireless-2.6.git the I copied all the wireless-2.6 folder to an ext3 partition. There I ran git diff. I get many messages like these (probably on all files of the repository): diff --git a/COPYING b/COPYING deleted file mode 100644 index ca442d3..0000000 --- a/COPYING +++ /dev/null @@ -1,356 +0,0 @@ - and then all the lines of the file with "-" in the beginning, as if they are empty. Why is it so ? Is there any way to overcome it ? Must I run "git clone" on an ext3 DiskOnKey only ? Regards, Ian
