Hello,
I have created a bare repository:
$ mkdir remote.git

angelo@ANGELO-PC /d/gtest (master) $ git init --bare Initialized empty Git repository in d:/gtest/

and then tried to open it with the git gui, but have got the message: "remote.git is not a git repository".

The git gui is the one that I have downloaded from the git web site for windows:

gt-gui version 0.16.GITGUI git version 1.7.11.msysgit.1

Thank you -Angelo Borsotti
