I don't like source repositories with dot-files, and I thought it was a good idea to disallow them, but on the other hand I'd like it even less if some CVS-weenie goes and says "I can't convert my project to git without potentially losing information". So in the name of furthering humanity through allowing people to migrate away from CVS, I'm considering making the git dot-file check be more specific to "." ".." and ".git". After all, project-specific rules might have their own porcelain-related ignore-files that cause dot-files to never appear.. Hmm. Linus
