[support] Git and Multisite

[Ms. Nancy Wichmann]

Yes, the modules that are used are in sites/all/modules. But not everything in that directory is used; there are many modules in there that are not used on this particular site (as well as themes, etc.).

But I do all my development in a true multisite (single code base). So, for example, sites/all/modules contains every module that any of my sites uses. This is far more than this particular site uses.
