As you can see, "master" sprang back to life after the last command.
It looks like git-svn does not like a repo without 'master'. It seems
the problem was caused by this patch:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=git/git.git;a=commit;h=1e889ef36c45b5554f7e317493ed3f4f901f8d9f

I have added Eric to CC...
Why not just check if HEAD points to a valid commit, rather than
master? It should do the same
in the newly created repo case, and stop annoying people on updates.
There seems to be agreement that while conventions are nice, git should
not force branch names on people. Can someone implement Mikael's
suggestion?

[silence]

OK, a different question, then: if I wrote a patch to implement the
behaviour described by Mikael, would you consider including it?


Patches are always considered, but asking about inclusion before the
code is written doesn't really work. If you care about this feature
and really want it, you should write the patch and submit it to the
mailing list for discussion. It might get dropped on the floor or it
might get accepted, but without you actually showing that you want
it, nothing at all will happen.

Considering the successes of the wars on alcohol, poverty, drugs and
terror, I think we should give some serious thought to declaring war
on peace.
