Subject: integrity of linux copy of a git repo
Message-ID: <i85dub$fp5$1@dough.gmane.org>

If I make a recursive linux copy, "cp -rfp", of a git repo working tree is 
the resulting copy interchangeable with the original?

e.g.
/orig-wk-tree was created via git-clone with the file:/// url and therefore 
is a "full copy"
cp -rfp /orig-wk-tree /orig-wk-tree-copy
(do some stuff that breaks /orig-wk-tree)
rm -rf /orig-wk-tree
mv /orig-wk-tree-copy /orig-wk-tree

Have I truly recovered the full integrity of the original, or have I 
unwittingly introduced some sort of corruption?

v/r,
Neal
