Not clear what the difference is??
Did a git pull from the busybox.net and his git.

Compared the two directory structures and all files are exactly the 
same with the exception of his having a busybox/.git directory with 
these files.
ls -l
total 332
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root    260 Apr 11 22:33 config
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root     73 Apr 11 22:33 description
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root   1556 Apr 12 00:33 FETCH_HEAD
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root     23 Apr 11 22:33 HEAD
drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root    320 Apr 11 22:33 hooks
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 308339 Apr 11 22:33 index
drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root     60 Apr 11 22:33 info
drwxr-xr-x. 3 root root     80 Apr 11 22:33 logs
drwxr-xr-x. 4 root root     80 Apr 12 00:33 objects
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root     41 Apr 11 23:08 ORIG_HEAD
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root   6236 Apr 11 22:33 packed-refs
drwxr-xr-x. 5 root root    100 Apr 11 22:33 refs

I download using https from busybox.net, so am assuming that it 
why it doesn't .git directory??

Using the git pull using the git option often see this.
git pull
fatal: read error: Connection reset by peer

Using script to use https get this.
./gitpull2.ch 
Nothing changed (Already up to date).

Does 
git remote set-url origin https://git.busybox.net/busybox
before the 
git pull

So, not sure if someone else is doing the same updates or what.
would be nice if could get an answer from whoever has control of 
the busybox.net site??

Best to everyone.
