Actually, the core.php got _copied from the repo, deleted from the clone and symlink-ed back into the **shared_path/config/core.php**_ which allowed to have a separate core config file on your local repo and your production box. Same as for the database. I find this very convenient so that I can have debug level 2 while coding, and don't have to think about switching back to 0 before deploying. Maybe you have another trick?
