title: rsync .git directory
body: <p><em>This question probably is based on my lack of understanding of the role of .gits and git repositories in general but:</em></p>
  
  <p>Can I rsync a dir with content that I created with <code>git init</code> between machines ?</p>
  
  <p>I have a repository on my laptop, and the only way to get it away from there is scp/rsync to a remote host, from which I can download it again. Could I rsync the complete directory structure between these hosts?</p>
