[PATCH] Fix 'git commit -a' in a newly initialized repository

From: Fredrik Kuivinen <frekui@gmail.com>
Date: Feb 22, 2007, 20:28 UTC
Message-ID: <20070222202812.8882.44375.stgit@c165>

With current git:

$ git init $ git commit -a cp: cannot stat `.git/index': No such file or directory

Output a nice error message instead.
