[PATCH 0/2] RFC: Better handling of git init remote-spec

machine by writing something like

  git init --bare remote.machine:myrepo.git

just to get a local directory called "remote.machine:myrepo.git" set up.

Or, even worse, a

  git init --bare ssh://remote.machine/myrepo.git

These patches try to fix this. The first patch tries to detect if a remote repository specification was supplied, and just stop with an error message. That one is fairly safe.

The second one I haven't got working yet, but I have the beginnings of a patch that actually tries to run "git-init" on the remote repository. Any ideas on how to get this actually working (it should be possible for the "ssh" transport at least) are welcome.

Peter Krefting (2):
  Detect attempts at calling git init specifying a remote repository.
  WIP: Allow running git init on a remote repository specification.
