This was done purely so that Cogito would not barf on a repository initialized with "git init" even if it did not bother creating necessary leading directories when it writes its rough equivalent to .git/remotes/ information. I do not recall if Cogito had such a problem anymore, but I think it can safely go when Cogito is effectively dead. - 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
