People dealing with lots of files usually need to save/restore/copy
files from/to other file systems. In order to be more efficient,
git provides a set of key bindings for mounting and unmounting
file systems. See section The GIT mount utility, for more information.
The default key bindings set has been designed to work under
Linux, but it can be easily changed for other UNIX systems
with different device names. Reading the configuration file
`.gitrc.common' should be enough. See section Hot Keys, for more
information.
As a convention, the `/mnt' directory is used to store an empty
subdirectory for each mountable file system. Each file system is
actually mounted in its counterpart `/mnt' subdirectory. Try to
follow this convention since the gitmount script is heavily based
on it. See section Customizing GNU Interactive Tools, for more information.
ESC m a
Call mount(1) in order to mount the first floppy
(`/dev/fd0') in the `/mnt/fd0' directory (`MOUNT-A').
ESC m b
Call mount(1) in order to mount the second floppy
(`/dev/fd1') in the `/mnt/fd1' directory (`MOUNT-B').
ESC m t
Call mount(1) in order to mount the file system corresponding to
the currently pointed to subdirectory. For example, if you are in the
`/mnt' directory and the cursor is on the `fd0' subdirectory,
the first floppy will be mounted (`MOUNT-THIS').
ESC r a
Call umount(1) in order to remove (unmount) the first floppy
(`/dev/fd0') (`UMOUNT-A').
ESC r b
Call umount(1) in order to remove (unmount) the second floppy
(`/dev/fd1') (`UMOUNT-B').
ESC r t
Call umount(1) in order to remove (unmount) the file system
mounted into the currently pointed to subdirectory
(`UMOUNT-THIS'). For example, if the current directory is
`/mnt' and the cursor points to the `fd1' subdirectory, the
second floppy will be unmounted.
