It would be interesting to know why ${MY_GIT_TOP} is used as in this script it is a NULL string.
OR was that the intention?


Hope this helps...

msdos

MSDOSFS(5)						      BSD File Formats Manual							MSDOSFS(5)

NAME

     msdosfs -- MS-DOS file system

SYNOPSIS

     options MSDOSFS

DESCRIPTION

     The msdosfs driver will permit the FreeBSD kernel to read and write MS-DOS based file systems.

     The most common usage follows:

	   mount -t msdosfs /dev/ada0sN /mnt

     where N is the partition number and /mnt is a mount point.  Some users tend to create a /dos directory for msdosfs mount points.  This helps
     to keep better track of the file system, and make it more easily accessible.

     It is possible to define an entry in /etc/fstab that looks similar to:

     /dev/ada0sN	     /dos    msdosfs	     rw      0	     0

     This will mount an MS-DOS based partition at the /dos mount point during system boot.  Using /mnt as a permanent mount point is not advised
     as its intention has always been to be a temporary mount point for floppy and ZIP disks.  See hier(7) for more information on FreeBSD direc-
     tory layout.
