Having said all that, I happen to think that this particular case of pulling into void could deserve to be special cased to pretend it is a fast forward (after all, nothingness is an ancestor of anything), if only to make new people's first experience more pleasant. Working from nothingness is something not usually done in everyday work, so from practical and technical point of view it does not add much _real_ value to the people who actually uses the system, but nevertheless, new people typically start learning the system from either cloned repository (which I believe is covered by the existing tools fairly well) or emptiness (which bitten us here in a bad way), and making the first experience more pleasnt to new people have a positive value of flattening the learning curve. So please consider that this is classified as a bug. - 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
