Re: [PATCH] git init: optionally allow a directory argument

When starting a new repository, I see my students often say

    % git init newrepo

and curse git.  They could say

    % mkdir newrepo; cd newrepo; git init

but allowing it as an obvious short-cut may be nicer.

Hmm, I didn't realize this is so common a wish among new people.

The patch seems clean.  Anybody has comments, both on code and the use
case?
