GIT_DISCOVERY_ACROSS_FILESYSTEM problem when working with terminal and MacFusion

Question

Answer 1

Coming here from first Google hit:

You can turn off the behavior AND and warning by exporting GIT_DISCOVERY_ACROSS_FILESYSTEM=1.

On heroku, if you heroku config:set GIT_DISCOVERY_ACROSS_FILESYSTEM=1 the warning will go away.

It's probably because you are building a gem from source and the gemspec shells out to git, like many do today. So, you'll still get the warning fatal: Not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git but addressing that is for another day :)
