Ok, I understand.

Still, there's a --bare command to git clone, and I had only tried git init --bare, not the other form, and it always failed. Only today did I learn I could do a git --bare init, from a colleague of mine.

I'd suggest allowing git init --bare, or documenting the --bare init option.
