Description Michael Rennie

Currently, you can see and modify the .git folder for a project. We should hide the folder from view by default, and perhaps add a pref on the git page so that if people really want access to it they can un-hide it.

The rational being that a user that does not know what they are doing could irreparably damage their repo playing around in there.
