Sorry, what are you saying shouldn't be done? Backing up untracked/modified files in a bit repo? Or compressing the .git folder and backing it up as a unit?

- pixl97 5mo ago> Backing up untracked/modified files in a bit repo? This. It's best to do this in an atomic operation, such as a VSS style snapshot that then is consistent and done with no or paused operations on the files. Something like a zip is generally better because it takes less time on the file system than the upload process typically takes.
- pkaeding 5mo agoI see what you mean, but isn't this an issue with any filesystem backup tool? Or is there something about untracked files in a git workspace that is different, that I'm not seeing?
