Re: git init doesn't create master branch

Thanks for clarifying this thing for me! I don't really insist on having a master branch it's just that I tried to pull from a repository bundle and I got this error message:

"Cannot merge multiple branches into empty head"

The command was:

git pull ../dump.dmp refs/heads/*:refs/heads/*

Is this a better way of doing this?

Thanks,
Ákos

the manual of git init says: "An initial HEAD file that references the

However, after creating the repository using git init there's no
master branch.
Right, but HEAD still points to it ;-). We sometimes call this an
"unborn branch".
Right.  Let me also add that our prompt has support for this; on an
unborn branch, my prompt looks like:

artagnon|master#:/tmp/foo$
                ^
	       the # indicates unborn branch

Please consider using contrib/completion/git-prompt.sh to make your life easier.
