The point about removal is an interesting one. From that /var/www location I guess that you are discussing some webapp, but if you let it _write_ into it, you may also have to worry about how to handle the case where an update from the source end that comes from the checkout and an update by the webapp collide with each other. You also need to maintain the .git/index file that corresponds to what should be in /var/www/foo/ if you go that route. Just to be sure, I am not saying "checkout" is an inappropriate solution to whatever problem you are trying to solve. I am just pointing out things you need to be aware of if you take that approach. -- 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
