Re: Git: "No you can't handle my root!" (?)

Hello there. I know I was being goofy, but here is the real down to  
earth question :

Is there a known bug/feature that prevents Git from being used at "/"?  
It seems that there is a problem either at "git init" or "git add"  
when the repository is located at "/.git". (Git 1.6.4.4, see example  
below)

Thank you!

Quoting sylvain@demarque.qc.ca:

Git is good, Git is great! All praise the Git! :-D

What do you people think about this strange phenomena?

localhost / # git --version
git version 1.6.4.4

localhost / # git init
Initialized empty Git repository in //.git/

localhost / # cd etc
localhost etc # git add X11/xorg.conf
fatal: pathspec 'etc/X11/xorg.conf' did not match any files

Aside from the obvious question of why would I want to Git the whole
tree ("But all files deserve the Holy Presence of the Git!"), why does
Git refuse the love offering from "/etc/X11/xorg.conf"? Is it because
it contains font directory configurations?

Commit and [ENTER] to all,

S! :-)
