I have two OS’ installed on my computer with a common separate drive used for storing my local git repository. Is it safe to access the same physical local repo from both OS’ (Windows 7 and Ubuntu 12)?
I downloaded the most recent versions of git, but the version numbers are different on each OS. Windows has 1.7.11 and Ubuntu has 1.7.9.5
Yes, it’s safe
The git internal storage format is well-defined and the OS file system layer would need to be trying very hard to subvert it for it to fail when accessed from different operating systems.
