 * My server ([OpenShift](https://www.openshift.com)) uses GIT to push WordPress
   changes instead of FTP.
 * I can’t upload this plugin as-is because the source is full of .git and .gitignore’s.
 *     ```
       wp-content/plugins/crayon-syntax-highlighter//.gitignore
       wp-content/plugins/crayon-syntax-highlighter//.gitmodules
       wp-content/plugins/crayon-syntax-highlighter//js/jquery-colorpicker/.git
       wp-content/plugins/crayon-syntax-highlighter//js/jquery-colorpicker/.gitignore
       wp-content/plugins/crayon-syntax-highlighter//langs/vbnet/.git
       ```
   
 *     ```
       Jasons-MacBook-Pro-2:plugins jasonhendriks$ git add .
       fatal: Not a git repository: wp-content/plugins/crayon-syntax-highlighter/js/jquery-colorpicker/../../.git/modules/js/jquery-colorpicker
       ```
   
 * The wordpress.org repo is Subversion, so some witchcraft is going on here!
 * I saw [@jamieschmid](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jamieschmid/)’s [post about the same issue](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/git-conflicts-upon-install?replies=2)
   here, but I’m not sure her solution is a solution, or any better than just deleting
   the files above. I’m pretty sure these files are just going to come back on the
   next plugin update, unless they are purged by the author _before_ any Subversion
   commit.
