Hello,

I thought I'd try to setup a shared "empty" remote repository and then
clone it and then push the initial commit from another maching.
This failed as shown below:

 $ cd ~/git-repos
 $ mkdir test.git
 $ cd test.git
 $ git --bare init --shared
 Initialized empty shared Git repository in /home/wink/git-repos/test.git/
 $ git-daemon --reuseaddr --verbose --base-path=/home/wink/git-repos \
    --export-all --enable=receive-pack

On my other machine:

$ git clone git://192.168.0.8/test.git
Initialized empty Git repository in /home/wink/prgs/test/.git/
fatal: no matching remote head
fetch-pack from 'git://192.168.0.8/test.git' failed.
$

Did it configure the repository though? Like setting the url and tracking
branches for origin? If it did, it actually did all you needed, so you can
count it as success (and the message should talk about having nothing to do
rather than failing).
