Hi,

If I do a "git commit", issue git operations, and at the end, issue a "rm <the_git_dir>", is there any guarantee that my filesystem will be "clean", i.e. not polluted or otherwise modified by some git command? Are the git operations restricted to the repo-directory (and possibly remote places, over network)? Do the git-directory behaves as it were chroot-ed or be a sandbox? (Yet another words: is the git-directory isolated from the rest of the local filesystem (and packaging system)?)
