>From where I sit, the main use would have been:

	# <hackhackhack>
	$ git init
	$ git add .
	$ git commit -m initial\ revision
	# <hackhackhack>
	# <create a repository on repo.or.cz>
	$ git remote add origin $URL
	$ git push -t origin master

BTW I always wondered if it would make sense to introduce "git commit 
--init" for the first 3 Git commands.  I use them way too often.

Ah, well, I will install an alias on all of my machines.

Ciao,
