And also think "setup a remote repository", especially "setup a remote
HTTP repository".

  Of course. Currently you need to tinker with environment variables,
then with hooks, possibly with permissions and stuff to make the
repository shared... Think cg-admin-setuprepo. ;-)

git-init-db --shared

And the environment variable and the chgrp and g+s. That's my point.

I do not have the itch. But of course, it would be trivial to do that as 
command line options.

And sometimes, I do "cp -R /some/where/CVS ./; git-cvsimport".

git-cvsimport will create the repository for you, won't it?

It could, if I'd let it ;-)

  Of course sometimes you don't want to add everything, and that should
still be possible to do (cg-init has a switch for that).

Usually I start small projects as a single .c or .java file. Only after a 
while, I think it is worth it to init a git database. So, I _always_ have 
generated files lying around. And I would hate it if they were checked in 
automatically. (Yeah, I could remove them, _then_ remove them from the 
index, and then git-commit --amend. Ugly.)

Can't you just do make clean before git init? Or you can prepare 
.gitignore before you check stuff in, so that the autogenerated files 
don't pollute your git status output. ;-)

Yes, I can. I also can type in several sheets of hex data. But I don't 
want to. Like Timo, I am very happy to tell the computer what to do, not 
to let it take guesses.

Ciao,
