Shaun pointed out some very core code. And it is just a core concept.
Just read up on the core organizing concept that is the "tree". Git
relies on the layout of the tree being strictly deterministic.

It is a prevalent assumption in the whole codebase.

Yes you can change it, but assume you will have to audit/rewrite 80%
of the core code.

Want "proof"? Go change it, then try "make  test", or reimport a large
repository try to use the git commands over it. We'll relax and watch
the fireworks :-)
