Subject: git init --bare versus git --bare init
Message-ID: <201005081238.14156.oliverhoffmann32@googlemail.com>

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
