Can Github blog about the problem with having a .git inside a public html folder on an apache server? Did this already happen and I missed it?
I found out my files were available in cleartext from the .git folder because I didn't have an .htaccess prohibiting it.
One way to do it is this line in .htaccess:
RedirectMatch 404 /.git

Another way I do it is not putting the git repository in the public_html folder, but one level up not being served by Apache.

I blogged here about it:
