verless / verless

Thanks to @alinnert for proposing this.

Currently, the verless create project command does, at least when the --overwrite flag is used, remove and re-create the entire directory. It would be nice to retain the .git directory so that a new project can be initialized within a Git repository.

The changes have to be made in this section here:

verless/core/create.go
