The opposite is true, the .git directory is the default location for
git's stuff in non-bare repos.

   $ git init test
   # some output omitted
   Initialized empty Git repository in /home/tixy/test/.git/
   
   $ ls -lA test
   total 4
   drwxr-xr-x 7 tixy tixy 4096 Aug 25 21:28 .git
   
   $ cat test/.git/config
   [core]
   	repositoryformatversion = 0
   	filemode = true
   	bare = false
   	logallrefupdates = true


For bare repos it doesn't create the .git directory...


   $rm -rf test
   $git init --bare test
   # some output omitted
   Initialized empty Git repository in /home/tixy/test/
   
   $cat test/config
   [core]
   	repositoryformatversion = 0
   	filemode = true
   	bare = true
