问题
I've just started using git in Vista, with my repository under /path/to/project/git repo.
I've now found that the space in the folder name is a minor irritation when working in git bash.
Can I just rename the folder to /path/to/project/gitrepo? Is everything within the git config relative, or is there anything that explicitly refers to the parent folder?
I've tried just taking a windows copy of the main folder, and run git bash on that, and 'git log' shows the changes I had previously made. So I assume renaming the main folder is OK, but I'd like to be sure before I go any further.

To amend slightly Greg's answer, yes, everything with a git repo is relative to the .git parent directory, but:
(and this won't probably affect you directly, I only mention those reasons here for completeness' sake.):
- the path of the repo itself could be referenced by other services running on your computer (Apache, ssh, another repo declaring your repo as a remote, using the full file path, a gitolite layer declaring your repos in a certain path, ...)
- some operations use the full path of the repo (like the
GIT_INDEX_FILEusing within afilter-branchcommand for instance, see this thread), so, obviously, don't rename the root directory while performing a complex operation on your repo.
Plus, a "windows copy" (instead of a git clone), will copy everything including hooks, which may include absolute path in their script if you have edited them and made those kind of modification.

Yes, it is safe to rename the folder containing a Git repository. All paths inside the Git repository are relative.

Please check the comments first...
In my opinion, the best is to use the git workflow, especially when you use a git server (remote master repository), which means:
- get the old directory in sync with your git server (
git pull,git pushand at lastgit statusto see if everything is fine) git clone <former directory> <new directory>
(Since I'm also new to GIT, this might be not the full, correct answer. I've had the same question as Mick and for learning purpose I tried to do it the git way :) Thanks for the clue, vonC! Please correct me, if needed :)

yes you can change it. your repo still direct to your git.. just do not remove/edit name of .git fo
