I did so in the past. Then I had to replace that hard disk and couldn't clone it, had to copy things. But that disk also contains the \User directories, so it wasn't trivial. Things got messy and I suppose I forgot. Anyway, yeah, I agree, it's something the user has to take care of... As long as they know, or remember. And the git error being silenced didn't help ;-)
