Hello, I thought that there is a command available which I can use to push a repository to a remote nonexisting location (that gets created on the fly) like in the following scenario:

        - Create a git project on my laptop
        - Check in a few files
        - Publish the git repository to

        (thinkpad) [~/work/astro-tg] git push 131.188.30.59:/home/cip/adm/sithglan/work/repositories/private/astro/
        fatal: '/home/cip/adm/sithglan/work/repositories/private/astro': unable to chdir or not a git archive
        fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

I thought that I read a comment from Linus(?) long time ago to how to obtain that. But I am unable to find the e-mail in my archives. If there is no standard way, how do you do it? Just rsync the files and change the 'origin'?
