Hi,


here is the use case:

I'm migrating a project from CVS. I'm geting a git repo from git
cvsimport. Now I have to create a bare copy of it and put it on the
server so gitweb will see it.
Currently i have to do:

$ git clone --bare repo repo.git

I would like to be able to do

$ git clone --bare repo repo.git -d "this is my super-duper project"

So, the message goes directly to the description file.

Same thing with init or init --bare

I should have a possibility to do

$ git init --bare -d "this is my super-duper project"

What do you think?

Thanks,
Eugene
