Hi all,
Please cc me, I'm not subscribed.
git-push fails when pushing into an empty repository if you don't specify
a branch:
git --bare init some-repo
git-push some-repo
To get this to work, you need to do
git-push some-repo master
I attached a patch so that the error message suggests trying the latter.
Cheers,
Andrew
