Personally, I think they should all go under .git with very descriptive,
public names (the name ".dotest" is not really hidden from the user, and
I have never really been able to make sense of it. Surely there is some
more useful name?).

But I think there is the real possibility of damaging user scripts which
make assumptions based on the presence of .dotest (to see if we're in a
git-am or rebase session, etc). I have no idea how common such scripts
are.
