Subject: [Feature Request] Option to make .git not read-only in cloned repos

Hi git folks,

Honestly I'm not aware of the reason behind .git being read-only, but
I'm sure there is one.

However, I'm sure that a large percentage of developers out there will
agree with me that having to use force (-f) to delete every cloned
repo is annoying, and even worse, it creates the bad habit of always
force-deleting everything.

Would you find reasonable to add an option to keep .git writable on
cloned repos?

PS: I'm not subscribed to the list, so please CC me on replies.

Thanks!
Albert
