I've been getting ready to support my organization in a change-over to git from cvs, and I've found a strange issue when creating bare repositories. The placement of the "--bare" option changes: git --bare clone <url> == "--bare" is silently ignored git --bare init == Creates an empty bare repo git clone --bare == Clones the url into a new bare repo git init --bare == Error: usage: git-init [-q | --quiet] [--template=<template-directory>] [--shared] I assume there a reason for the lack of symmetry, but I don't understand it.
