This is an irrelevant comment isn't it?  Hosting sites coming via git
protocol will not suffer from this "in-progress .keep not readable" issue
at all.

I was responding to the motivation stated in the commit log message, the
file-based "cp -r" copy or cpio clone, which are _not_ a safe thing to do.

Because "leftover .keep" alone is a good justification, I was hinting to
drop that other motivation from the description altogether.
