Hi,

Okay. But I started hacking git by getting it, compiling it, doing "git 
init", a "git fetch origin", "git read-tree HEAD" and "git update-index 
--refresh". In that case, .git is there, but also the file "version".

But that's too obscure a case as to care about, so I am okay with your 
patch.

Ciao,
