- Teach "-D $there" option to "git init", which does an "mkdir -p $it &&
chdird $it" before it does its work.
Shouldn't it be "-C $there" (like make and tar)?
I agree with that. It's pretty much a standard for quite a few "command line
people", insofar as I always look for such an option in case I want to know
whether a command has the ability to chdir() to a different directory than
the current one :p
In this particular case, it is not "chdir() before starting" but "mkdir
and then chdir() into it". Using -C would be counterproductive.

I have missed the mkdir part, but then here this is mkdir _-p_...
I mean, what is the cost of mkdir -p the/dir and then git init -C the/dir? I
don't think it's that good an idea to have git create the directory in this
case...
Think of what would happen if you git -D a/b, and a is a symlink to, where,
somewhere (doesn't exist, exists but if you touch it you're {in trouble,good
for jail time, whatever}).
I personnaly think that the directory creation SHOULD be created to the
commands that are meant for it, just as git handles dir creation in its own
space (a git repository).
