What is it that you want to do? A non-bare git repository consists of the working tree files (i.e. the files you keep under version control) and the files in the .git directory. Most of the latter files aren't meant for human consumption but are used internally by Git for bookkeeping purposes. Opening them in a text editor won't be useful. --=20 Magnus B=E4ck Opinions are my own and do not necessar= ily SW Configuration Manager represent the ones of my employer, etc. Sony Ericsson
