while writing up a cheat sheet with a visual layout of .git for my students, i compared "git help repository-layout" to my git clone of the kernel source tree, and noted the following things are not mentioned in the repo layout help page -- i have no idea how complete that page is supposed to be so it's entirely possible that these omissions are deliberate: - ORIG_HEAD - FETCH_HEAD - description - gitk.cache - refs/ bisect stash - logs/ HEAD refs/ stash remotes - worktrees/<id>/ commondir HEAD index logs ORIG_HEAD as i said, i have no idea whether the entries above are deliberately omitted from the layout page, i just made a list of them. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
