Not quite. It was a genuine question rather than an outright
suggestion for change. It is typical to present a high-level overview
and then the low-level details. This case reverses that and presents
the details first and then the overview (in the form of --git-path).
The reader wades through several paragraphs of detailed explanation of
the low-level structure of the .git directory, only to be told at the
end to use --git-path and not worry about those details. Thus, the
organization struck me as a bit odd.

The text does work as-is, and presents the necessary information; and
I don't want to turn this into a bike-shedding session, so feel free
to ignore my question.
