That way, this test can do While I do not think it is realistic to anticipate that the "test" repository may someday come with a hooks/ directory, even if we did so, we would not enable any hook by default in there. So "move away and restore" feels way overkill. > B. Run "git init" ourselves so we know what we're getting: That is certainly safer, and simpler. But perhaps the simplest would be C.
