What directory is the 'working copy'? There can be two interpretations: the current dir and the .git dir.

It is fairly common terminology amoung all version control systems to use "working copy" to refer to a checkout from version control, including copies of all the versioned files, and whatever VCS-specific cruft that entails. So, a working copy is everything you get when you git clone a repository. --[[Joey]]
