Re: Syncing a git working tree with Dropbox?

Hi,

My idea is that I keep my .git folder safely outside of my Dropbox
folder, but my git repository has a detached working tree that is
located in the Dropbox folder. On machine B it would be the same setup.
So the two machines each have their own clone of the git repo and these
are synchronised by git push and git pull with a 'central' remote repo.
But the two clones share the same working tree, or more accurately their
working trees are synced by Dropbox.

The working tree is just files, I don't see how it's different from
Dropbox syncing any other files. Dropbox and git ought not to collide in
any way. So this should work fine shouldn't it?
Your changes in git (like new commits) won't be synced.
