Linus,
I see you pulled the first two patches of my last series into your tree, so I know I had your attention briefly. I wanted to see what I can do to help the rest of the changes get in, so....
I realized last night as I was going to bed that the third patch might not be accepted because it changes the behaviour slightly, nevermind that they were - by comparison with today's alternative - plain ugly.
For what it's worth, init-db is practically useless for my package without the second change in this series. Currently, I've implemented init-db in pure perl, but I'd like to use init-db.
As such, I started from scratch, and came up with a much simpler series of patches. Please continue to ignore the previous series, but consider these new patches in their stead.
New GIT_FILE_DIRECTORY patches will follow seperately.
Cheers,
