Re: adding files in .git?

E R [off-list ref] writes:

1) Use another file in .git similar to the "description" file (such as
.git/short-description)
2) Use a setting in the .git/config file.

Any comments on the advantages/disadvantages of these approaches?

Neither of them will propagate through clone. Depending on your
use-case, this is an advantage or not.
