It is my understanding that we prefer "directory" over "folder" when discussing the file system concept. (Whereas "folder" is commonly used for the GUI view of such a directory, or for an IMAP folder.) I stumbled on a mention of the ".git folder" when going through the doc-diff between v2.33.0 and 9d530dc002 ("The fourteenth batch", 2021-10-18), and started looking around. This series is the outcome. Based on master.
