What the fuck would happen if you tried commiting something from /proc/?
Would it even attempt it or would it say "You can't do that you dumbass"?
>>61447454
You couldn't create the .git directory in /proc in the first place. But if you had checked / in and added /proc, it might probably work. It was the thought of merging that had me keked.

Use lvm and take snapshots.

You don't have to have the git folder in your checkout
