So, it seems it is not possible to create a named branch on an empty
repository.
Actually, it is not possible to branch from a non-existing branch. So,
this is somewhat expected from my POV.
From a git beginners point of view, I would expect that the 'master'
branch is automatically created when performing the 'git init'. Why is
this not the case?
