James,

Thanks for the reference. I found that early in my search for a solution,
and tried it with no success. Apologies for not including it in my original

$ mv .git bar
$ rm -rf bar
rm: cannot remove 'bar': Directory not empty
$ ls -a bar
.  ..

I am totally flummoxed on how to remove this directory!

Mark
