That's not necessarily true. Another way to look at it is that the Git repository lives inside the .git directory, but not everything inside that directory is necessarily part of the repository. I do have plenty of stuff that isn't part of the repository inside the .git directory. The easiest way to disprove that hypothesis is finding something inside .git that isn't part of the repository, and that's easily done: .git/index -- Felipe Contreras
