如何重命名 git 根文件夹？

我刚开始在 Vista 中使用 git，我的存储库在 /path/to/project/git repo下。

我现在发现，在使用 git bash 时，文件夹名中的空间是一个小问题。

我能把文件夹重命名为 /path/to/project/gitrepo吗？Git 配置中的所有内容都是相对的吗，还是有明确指向父文件夹的内容？

我已经尝试了只获取一个主文件夹的 windows 副本，并在其上运行 git bash，‘ git log’显示了我之前所做的更改。因此，我假设重命名主文件夹是可以的，但是在进一步讨论之前，我想先确认一下。

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_FILE using within a filter-branch command 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.
