git init --bare versus git --bare init

Hi Git Folk,

If one accidentally writes "git --bare init <dir>" instead of "git init --bare 
<dir>" an appended directory argument is ignored and $CUR_DIR or the working 
directory will be used:

pwd

/tmp/foo

git --bare init /tmp/bar

Initialized empty Git repository in /tmp/foo/

git init --bare /tmp/bar

Initialized empty Git repository in /tmp/bar/

... but both should probably be initialized in /tmp/bar/

Greetings,
Oliver Hoffmann
