title: Is there any personal information in the .git directory
body: <p>If I just want to send a whole source directory as a tar-ball to somebody, can I include the .git or is there any personal information in there?</p>
  
  <p>The perfect scenario would be for the other person to unpack the directory and start there own fork, so to speak, without any trace of me as a former "owner" except for my name in the commits. Is that possible?</p>
