Why? Is it someplace else?
It is inside .git directory and will be caught by full recursive
backup. Unfortunately, it contains i-node numbers, which aren't
preserved through backup and restore.
The wrong i-node numbers would then confuse git (false positives
in modification detection). Fortunately, this data can be rebuilt
with single command (see below).
Hmm. One thing I wanted to get away from from Windows was the inability to
restore files by just copying the tree.
and needs to be rebuilt (git update-index --refresh).
That's crucial to know. Thanks!
