"strip" the repo

From: Yakov Lerner <hidden>

I am curious, if I remove all files and dirs (except .git),
and index, will it make it a valid bare repo ?
Or switching the repo from non-bare to bare is difficult ?

Thanks
Yakov

Yes, just removing everything except .git and .git/index (optionally)
will work fine to create a bare repository. Maybe a simpler way (but
more expensive) is to git clone --bare the repository.
