Funny, this very blog post is talking about why I think remote creation should be under git push, not "git init --remote".

IMHO, maybe we also should change the error message that receive-pack produces when the path its given isn't a Git repository. Its really not very human friendly to say "unable to chdir or not a git archive". Hell, we don't even call them archives, we call them repositories.
