Hi,

probably my approach could help you in the future: When I create a new repo
(git init) I firstly create an initial commit with nothing else than an
initial commit, i.e.:

$ git init
$ echo "initial" > initial.commit
$ git add initial.commit
$ git commit -m "Initial commit"

I don't think this is actually necessary.  You should just be able to do:
$ git init
$ git commit --allow-empty -m "Initial commit (empty)"
