Subject: dotfiles in git template dir are not copied
Message-ID: <ebd661c3-7d99-54d2-dda9-09c4a76cfe93@greg0ire.fr>

Hi,

I noticed yesterday that dotfiles inside the directory configured in 
init.templatedir are not copied when creating a new repository.

Here is the line I think is responsible for this behavior : 
https://github.com/git/git/blob/master/builtin/init-db.c#L48

Is it a bug or a feature?

Steps to reproduce, provided you already have a template dir configured :

cd $(git config --path --get init.templatedir)
touch copied
touch .not_copied
cd /tmp
mkdir whatever
cd whatever
git init
ls -la .git

On my machine, the last command does not list .not_copied .
