Perhaps you are forgetting that the first object name is a tree to be wrapped. A short answer is that you don't create a root commit twice in a single repository, period. Your repository _may_ be end up with more than one root but that typically is due to you fetching unrelated histories from different repositories, each created its own root. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
