I'm learning git and I'm really annoyed that the .git directory lives in the same directory as my code. I don't want it there for three reasons:
1. My code lives on a development web server docroot, and I don't want the .git repository to end up getting published to the live site by accident. (I would imagine this would be a common need.)
2. If I tar/gz my code and deliver it to a client, I don't want the .git dir slipping into the tarball, allowing my client to be able to peruse the history of what we did and when.
3. The .git respository will get big, especially with binary files in it, and I want it someplace with a lot of disk space. And I don't want it to get tarred up when we migrate the site to a different server. (And tar isn't aware of hard links is it? wonderful.)
How do I make the repository dir live somewhere else, the hell away from my code? Thanks
