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!
