  Makes a copy of `src` directory in `dst` directory.  If files already exist
  and are identical, do not touch them.  If extra files or directories exist,
  remove them.  Assume that `src` is a git directory so that `git ls-files` can
  be used to enumerate files.  This has the added benefit of ignoring files
  not tracked by git.  Also, if out is not None, write summary of actions to out.
  If `dst` is a top-level git directory, the `.git` directory will be removed.
