How about changing it to "Unnamed repository: edit > the file 'description' to name the repository" ? Sure. I also think "edit this file 'description' to name..." (not "the", but "this") would give a bit more hint to a user with a better intuition that the message is not something that is given by an individual program (e.g. gitweb or the sample hook) but is a product of catting a file that exists somewhere in the repository in question, and may reduce unnecessary requests for help saying "The program tells me to edit 'description' file, but where should I *create* one?"
