Dear diary, on Wed, Apr 13, 2005 at 07:01:34PM CEST, I got a letter where Daniel Barkalow <barkalow@iabervon.org> told me that... > For future reference, git is unhappy if you actually do this, because your > HEAD won't match the (empty) contents of the new directory.

How is it unhappy? That would likely be a bug, unless you do something which really *needs* the tree populated and doesn't make sense otherwise (show-diff aka git diff w/o arguments, for example).
Given that what would you copy with cp -r and wipe shortly after (objects db) is likely to be significantly larger than the working tree itself, checkout-cache would be wiser anyway.
