Yes, but the issue becomes how we can reliably tell if a
repository is naked or has an associated working tree.  I've
seen people rsync only .git subdirectory of their live working
tree to publish to a public repository, which means their pulic
repository has <project>.git/index file, so it is kind of
tricky.
