Actually this is caused by Drupal's .htaccess file:
# Block access to "hidden" directories whose names begin with a period. This # includes directories used by version control systems such as Subversion or # Git to store control files. Files whose names begin with a period, as well # as the control files used by CVS, are protected by the FilesMatch directive # above. # # NOTE: This only works when mod_rewrite is loaded. Without mod_rewrite, it is # not possible to block access to entire directories from .htaccess, because # <DirectoryMatch> is not allowed here. # # If you do not have mod_rewrite installed, you should remove these # directories from your webroot or otherwise protect them from being # downloaded. RewriteRule "(^|/)." - [F]
You can remove that rule from .htaccess if you like. I would just make sure you don't have any hidden directories, like .git.
