It almost looks like he might be tracking his git installation with git by tracking the "gitVersion" dir, and the "NonGitVersion" dir is really the "normal" git repo containing a dev project. I'm probably making a misinterpretation of the wording and "gitVersion" means "stuff versioned by git", but then again "NonGitVersion" is also supposedly being versioned by git. Just curious if he's attempting to use his git installation to track itself which would be interesting also.
