OK, now I'm REALLY confused.

I've moved all my documents from /var/www/lighttpd/mainSite to /var/www/lighttpd/mainSite/webdocs (leaving .git in .../mainSite).

I've updated /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf to point at /var/www/lighttpd/mainSite/webdocs, and confirmed that it's pointing at the right place by editing a file, and confirming that that change shows up on the site.

I've confirmed that there is no .git folder in webdocs (you never know!)

But calling my.site.com/.git/config still serves a file!?

Time to go ask on some lighttpd fora...

Cleared the cache, refreshed, it's still there. Weirdness abounds.
