title: git init will not create git directories for me
body: <p>I am new to Git.
  I can get a Git directory structure in a bare directory with <code>git -init --bare</code>.
  I can see where the git information is stored.</p>
  <p>However, when I try to use <code>git init</code> or even <code>git clone</code>, I never see any <code>.git</code> subdirectory in my local repository.  I can add files and push, but have no idea where those files are actually stored on disk for my local repository.</p>
  <p>From the documentation:</p>
  <blockquote>
  <pre><code>$ git init
  </code></pre>
  <p>This creates a new subdirectory named <code>.git</code> that contains all of your necessary repository files – a Git repository skeleton.</p>
  </blockquote>
  <p>However, I never see that skeleton directory.  I have used <code>dir -AH</code> to see if the git directory is hidden, but there is none. Why do I not get a git skeleton directory? And where, exactly are the added (staged) files put?</p>
