Hi, Frédéric Heitzmann wrote: > export GIT_DIR=$PWD/.gita && > git init This is where the recipe goes wrong. It creates a bare repository. Using vi or "git config" to edit its configuration to set the "[core] bare" setting to false would change that. The git-config(1) manpage says: By default a repository that ends in "/.git" is assumed to be not bare (bare = false), while all other repositories are assumed to be bare (bare = true). and the logic in builtin/init-db.c seems to agree. Maybe there is a better place to document this. Improvements welcome.
