You suggest that git instead would die > because a .git/ exists? (I'm not saying this is wrong or right). For that matter, if you have .git/ that is a directory but is not a repository, and ../.git/ that is, the same situation would arise. I do not think we should die because .git/ is not a git repository. I do not know if we should even warn about it. -- 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
