Based on the assumption that your "child" repos are supposed to have the 
same .git/config files, I tried using git-init --template=x with a config 
file in template directory "x", but git-init only picks up the config file 
on an initialization of a new repo, not on a reinitialization of an existing 
repo.

v/r,
