Well if you want the vanilla install without the ability to update via

Apparently it involves a --bare option.
No. Most people don't want --bare anyway...they're likely
to get confused.

I guess I will just have to accept some bloat with git

I guess there is no way to just get the same content without using git
in some way that it is not intended.
The amount of "bloat" we're talking about here is between
20 and 30M, at most. I see zero problem here.
Would you rather have the initial conversions I did, that are
around 6.5G of bloat? ;-)
