[PATCH 4/4] nmbug: Add an 'init' command

[W. Trevor King]

For folks that want to start versioning a new tag-space, instead of
cloning one that someone else has already started.

The empty-blob hash-object call avoids errors like:

  $ nmbug commit
  error: invalid object 100644 e69de29bb2d1d6434b8b29ae775ad8c2e48c5391 for 'tags/...'
  fatal: git-write-tree: error building trees
  'git HASH(0x9ef3eb8) write-tree' exited with nonzero value
