However, all my attempts to somehow put the\nexisting repo into the bare one have failed.\n\nWhy can't I simply copy the whole repo into a directory the web server\ncan serve from and perhaps make some adjustments, or something similarly\nsimple?  How can I make it so that the repo can be cloned/fetched via\nthe web server?\n"}]}
