+Klaus pointed out that there are two problems that keep
+git-annex from being used on USB keys, that would typically

+- Use of symlinks, which VFAT does not support. Very hard to fix.
+- Use of ":" in filenames of object files, also not supported.
+ Could easily be fixed by reorganizing the object directory.
