We talked about this a long time ago. One problem is that it's inherently unportable, as the procedure to make a repo is potentially different on every server (and certainly that is the case between a regular user running stock git and something like GitHub or Google Code; I imagine even gitolite has some special procedures for creating repos, too). One proposal made in the previous discussion was to define a microformat for repository administration commands. So that you could connect and say "git admin-create-repo /path/to/MyRepo.git", and the server-provided admin-create-repo command would take care of the details. Then stock git could forward it to "git init --bare", GitHub could do the same and create the necessary database records, etc. And once that standardized method was in place, it would be easy to add a "--create" option to "git push" to request an "admin-create-repo" before pushing. I still think that's a reasonable way forward, but nobody was interested enough to start writing code for it. -Peff -- 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
