I just realized another issue (for the future): suppose, I (and all the other maintainers) Then it would be sufficient to do mkdir .git mv all the stuff to the .git directory run git config --local --bool core.bare false git reset --hard Right? I never have really used them. But then still of course copyright documentation fontlockhang hairyblocks mac_init * master modernize shellcomplete strings usage1 wisent-parser So it might be better to clone from gitlab the repository without the mirror option, looks cleaner.
