Maybe. Although I am quite certain that you'd break something by that.

But after all, this is one really obscure corner case you have there, and 
you are not really working on the repository on Linux either, since you 
have it mounted readonly.

I absolutely have no intention to "fix" performance or other issues for 
that case.

Ciao,
