  it didn't make sense to me then and still doesn't 
but whatever...  :)

  there are other attempts which are done for it and 
process flows for me but i'd really prefer just a
simple flag or environment variable i could set which
would do it instead so then i'd be able to get rid of
the gyrations.

  but it really sux to get a directory structure set
up how i'd like it and the forget that git has this
effect and then come back some time later and see the
mess it's made.
