This is called a "bare" repository. Now, you have the keyword to RTFM ;-). You can do something like mv linux-repo linux-tree cd linux-tree mv .git ../linux-repo cd ../linux-repo git config core.bare true (and optionnaly remove linux-tree/) or you could have used "git clone --bare" when you cloned the repository. -- Matthieu Moy http://www-verimag.imag.fr/~moy/ -- 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
