FYI, the local repository exists only in the *top* of the source tree.
There is one ".git" directory there and nothing in subdirectories.
Therefore "rm -rf Hybrid" does not wipe out anything in the local repo.
What it does do is screw up your local *work tree*, but that can be
recovered with "git checkout" as discussed elsewhere in this thread.
