That is not a valid question nor answer, I am afraid.

It probably is showing that perl/Git.pm is underdocumented.  We should
make it possible if not trivial for people who want to write the next
great git-svn.perl or whatever that uses the module to interact with the
repository.

I don't understand why the Josef's scriptlet passes Directory to the
initialization code.  Is it working with a bare repository?
