For a "complete and total backup" my money's on tar. Using `git bundle` |
| 12 |
is a nice way to package "commitish" things like commits, tags, and |
| 13 |
branches, but there's a lot it will lose: stashed files, uncommitted |
| 14 |
files, local repo configuration, and all hooks. |

Those can be especially important dealing with outsourced developers who |
| 17 |
do all sorts of goofy things they shouldn't do. |
