[JGIT PATCH] Added support for creating bare repositories

Constantine Plotnikov· Apr 24, 2009, 15:36 UTC · lore

Now it is possible to create bare repositories. The difference from normal repository creation is that directory where repository is created might exists and that core.bare property is set to true.

I know C Git doesn't check if a directory is a non-bare repo, but I think that's wrong, so if I try to create a bare repo in a non-bare repo that should be an error. For now I'll accept it anyway since the C version allows it and it is useful.

I'm not sure that this should be an error. We have a bare git repository with a test data inside the non-bare repository. And such feature might be nice to have to other git related tools as well. %)
