+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+$GIT_DIR/*
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
You may find these things in your git repository (`.git`
directory for a repository associated with your working tree, or
-`'project'.git` directory for a public 'bare' repository. It is
+`<project>.git` directory for a public 'bare' repository. It is
also possible to have a working tree where `.git` is a plain
ascii file containing `gitdir: <path>`, i.e. the path to the
real git repository).
branches::
A slightly deprecated way to store shorthands to be used
to specify URL to `git fetch`, `git pull` and `git push`
- commands is to store a file in `branches/'name'` and
+ commands is to store a file in `branches/<name>` and
give 'name' to these commands in place of 'repository'
argument.
This is similar to `info/grafts` but is internally used
and maintained by shallow clone mechanism. See `--depth`
option to linkgit:git-clone[1] and linkgit:git-fetch[1].
