Don't worry, git doesn't complain if you rename the root folder :)
That's because git doesn't save a reference to the root project directory,
but it refers to the .git/ containing folder. This sounds pretty the same,
but referring the .git/ parent dir allows you to rename it as you wish,
without worrying about the name.
