"However, it means that this version does assume that you are not using
FAT or FAT32 to hold your repositories, since they do not store file
permissions very accurately."

I highly recommend that you upgrade to NTFS.  FAT32 is not secure.  If you
insist on using FAT, then you are correct - you must recompile git yourself.
