Insanity is copying the data rather than just the file name. Git is good about not reading unnecessary files, and anything necessary should be cached, so on-disk fragmentation is not a concern.

rmdir --ignore-fail-on-non-empty ??	# Probably unnecessary.
for i in ??
do
	mkdir $i.new
	mv $i/* $i.new
	rmdir $i
	mv $i.new $i
done
