Why do you create a non-bare repository and then make it bare? Before I
discovered this patch, I created the nmbug repository by hand and it was
possible to do it with bare repo from beginning. The following code
seems to work and is a bit simpler:
def init(remote=None):
"""
Create an empty nmbug repository.
This wraps 'git init' with a few extra steps to support subsequent
status and commit commands.
"""
_spawn(
args=['git', '--git-dir', NMBGIT, 'init', '--bare'],
wait=True)
# create an empty blob (e69de29bb2d1d6434b8b29ae775ad8c2e48c5391)
_git(args=['hash-object', '-w', '--stdin'], input='', wait=True)
_git(
args=[
'commit', '--allow-empty', '-m', 'Start a new nmbug repository'
],
additional_env={'GIT_WORK_TREE': NMBGIT},
wait=True)
Note that in the initial commit I set the work tree to NMBGIT. This is
because 'git commit' needs some work tree, but in our case it doesn't
matter which one because the commit is empty.
