And it is just a core concept. Just read up on the core organizing concept that is the "tree". Git relies on the layout of the tree being strictly deterministic. It is a prevalent assumption in the whole codebase. Yes you can change it, but assume you will have to audit/rewrite 80% of the core code. Want "proof"? Go change it, then try "make test", or reimport a large repository try to use the git commands over it.
