I would like to efficiently backup my project directories.
I am thinking that the backup of a git enabled project should only backup the following sets of files:

Files under .git/ The results of git clean -ndx The results of git status

Does this make sense? Is there a less expensive way to calculate the backup file set? I ask because sometime git status takes a long time.
