title: Is it possible to host a bare Git repository using Dropbox, to share code?
body: <p>I realize that there are <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1960799/using-gitdropbox-together-effectively">similar questions</a>, but my question is slightly different: I'm wondering whether sharing a <em>bare repository</em> via a synchronized Dropbox folder on multiple computers would work for <strong>sharing code</strong> via Git?</p>
  
  <p>In other words: <strong>is sharing a Git repo via Dropbox  the same as sharing it from one centralized location, for example, via SSH or HTTP?</strong></p>
  
  <p>Does the repo get updated on each person's local drive? Is this the same as sharing a Git repo via a shared network drive?</p>
  
  <p><strong>Note:</strong> This is <strong>not</strong> an empirical question: it seems to work fine. I'm asking whether the way a Git repo is structured is compatible with this way of sharing. </p>
  
  <p><strong>EDIT</strong> To clarify/repeat, I'm talking about keeping the Git repository on Dropbox as a <strong><em>bare repository</em></strong>. I'm not talking about keeping the actual files that are under source control in Dropbox.</p>
