+But whenever we do anything that might involve a working directory\r

+the ~/.nmbug repo is a plain-vanilla, non-bare repo with an ephemeral\r
+working directory.\r

+\r
+Sure. I think my previous email was my shot at explaining the\r
+situation ;). If it wasn't clear, maybe someone else could take a\r
+stab at a NOTES blurb.\r

+\r
+How about:\r
+\r
+ 1. If you have any purely local commits (i.e. they aren't in the\r
+ nmbug repository on nmbug.tethera.net), push them to a remote\r
+ repository. We'll restore them from the backup in step 4.\r
+\r
+?\r
+\r
+We can also use the suggested ~/.nmbug.bak from step 2 as the backup\r
+repository in step 4. I chose the current broad-sketch approach for\r
+steps 1 and 4, because I assumed folks with local commits would be\r
+comfortable pushing Git branches around, and didn't want to imply that\r
+I'd covered all the corner cases (e.g. folks with my-funky-tags\r
+branches or other wonky repos).\r
+\r
+Cheers,\r
+Trevor\r
