Re: Re: dotfiles in git template dir are not copied

You could, for example, have your template directory itself be a git

repository.

I can and I do and indeed, that might be the reason behind this.
I made a PR to document this : https://github.com/git/git/pull/325

While the PR is a simple one line change to the documention, the patch 
should be submitted to the list.
See Documenation/SubmittingPatches

Don't forget to Sign Off your patch (see the Developer's Certificate of 
Origin section).
