[support] Strange AJAX error

[Austin Einter]

Jamie
What a fantastic answer!!
You made my day. I just commented the line you recommended and it worked
fine.

I have a .git folder as below.

 sites/all/modules/betterselect/.git

So if I have a .git folder and I commented out the rule you recommended,
then what problem  I may face.., please elaborate..

Thanks
Austin
