Re: Getting rid of symlinks in .git?

But you shouldn't care if you have reasonably recent git everywhere:
symlinks and their absence already handled:

Well, I don't have working directories on USB sticks, so I don't 
actually use the symlinks, would they be there, but I'm definitely 
annoyed by not being able to copy a .git directory from some project 
over and be done with it.

Reasonable, perhaps. But are the git-pull and -clone _that_ slow or
awkward? Besides, you'd probably end up copying more than you'd want.

That's interesting case, btw. I'm restoring git mailing list in cc, so
it gets a bit wider of auditorium.
