I like the way it just keeps all it's stuff in one place and doesn't 
scatter files and directories all over your file system or interact in 
any way with your source directories like some source management things 
do (IIRC). If you make a cock-up setting things up just delete .git and 
start again. Probably not a good idea if you have a commit history in 
there however :-) I'll check the book out, thanks
