The shared Git repo used by git-new-workdir

Hi all,

First off, I use git-new-workdir a lot and it's working great. Kudos to its developers!

I have been looking at the Git clone that is at the root of git-new-workdir (i.e. the repository that is reused by all my git-new-workdir created directories). This repo shows a lot of activity when I run "git status" there.

So now I'm wondering. Should I simply ignore this completely? Or is there some "clean up" I can do so that "git status" shows nothing? Or would I destroy my git-new-workdir directories doing that? So far I've only used this repo to create branches (i.e. to run git-new-workdir).

I would like to understand a bit better how I should treat this repo. Whether it's basically a "do-not-touch" environment or whether I can safely treat it as a normal Git repo.

Cheers, Hilco
