I barely qualify as a novice on git, so my apologies in advance if this is a stupid question. Is everything that git needs stored in the .git tree? In understanding the big picture... Is there any reason I can't just move or copy the entire .git tree someplace else if I wanted to move or make a copy? I realize about the clone command, but wouldn't just a straight copy be easier (in the vanilla case where no branches or anything complicate things)? TIA! -Paul Kinzelman
