The nuts and bolts of this aren't difficult, the problem is I don't have
a complete understanding of how git stores data. I've heard in the
past that it uses a lot of hardlinks and softlinks. I need to make
sure, that once I transfer the data, and reboot the machine with the new
partition mounted under /home, that all my git repos will be okay.
Under most circumstances, git will do the right thing. Only if you
use specific flags on clone (like --shared or --reference) might
something go wrong, and as the manual page explains, you can use
git-repack to undo these.
The real solution is, after you rsync, to:
for f in */.git; do (cd $f; git fsck >&/dev/null || echo "$f is BAD!!"); done
If you get no output, you should be golden. If you get output, check
to make sure the repo you are copying from is good as well.
