A much more important reason is that it is a one-time event. You notice that you screwed up the configuration to use your peculiar work tree representation, and you fix it once and for all. Because not only it is a one-time event but because it is a big-deal event, I do not think it is something people even would want to think about doing it while having local changes, so I suspect #1 is also a non-issue. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
