I slept on it and took another look, and decided you were right; this is
what I have there now:
 
  A git project normally consists of a working directory with a ".git"
  subdirectory at the top level.  The .git directory contains, among
  other things, a compressed object database representing the complete
  history of the project, an "index" file which links that history to
  the current contents of the working tree, and named pointers into that
  history such as tags and branch heads.
