Ideally, "git push" from an empty repository to another empty one
should be a no-op, or perhaps should error out cleanly. Currently, it
just segfaults.

Didn't we see this fixed by Nguyễn with 55f0566 (get_local_heads(): do not
return random pointer if there is no head, 2009-04-17)?

I fetched from repo.or.cz and tested with 'master', and it was broken.  
Apparently git://repo.or.cz/git.git is lagging behind by 5 days.  Pasky?

Unfortunately, that repository is outside of my direct control.

I push into the following four repositories:

	k.org's master repository
	git://repo.or.cz/alt-git.git/
        git://git.sourceforge.jp/gitroot/git-core/git.git
	git://git-core.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/git-core

The k.org's master repository is mirrored (with small lag) to:

	git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git

I suspect that Pasky mirrors that mirror (with some lag) to:

        git://repo.or.cz/git.git

There may be some other mirrors of mirrors I do not know about.

I'd guess that people in the US are better off going to git.kernel.org,
Europeans to git://repo.or.cz/alt-git.git, and East Asians to
git.sourceforge.jp/.

I've already written about this elsewhere [*1*], but the sourceforge ones
are partial; they only have maint and master (and tags).
