Now I'm convinced about that, too. Thanks.

I think it's an artifact of the online language translation service's algorithm 
;-) I perceive the idea is that one would have a for-free copy of the 
repository in the cloud, and also the cloud provides versioning (keeps a number 
of snapshots).

Of course, snapshotting done by cloud synching software is absolutely broken 
when it comes to version control systems such as Git because such pieces of 
synching software are blissfully unaware about the "snapshot semantics" such VC 
systems use - which means a set of many different operations on assorted files 
in a repository must be considered as a single change.

Another problem is that such synchronization software itself may and does 
interfere with Git operating on its files. Basically that's what leads to 
repository corruptions.

Spot-on.
