Can I just copy a git repository to Windows?

I'm moving a git repository from my Linux machine to a Windows machine. I was hoping to just move the entire directory tree and find that things will "just work." Is this the case? Do I need to do anything about line endings?

You don't even need the entire directory structure, just grab the .git directory and move it to your windows machine. Then run "git reset --hard" and it should rebuild the rest of the directory structure for you.

Why don't you "git pull" the repo?

PS: Of course - "git clone" it (first). Point is: every git-repo is as valid as its clones.
