I realize that you copied/pasted the text from git-init.txt, but this
should really be [<directory>].

While you're at it, you could fix it in git-init.txt, as well, and
adjust the formatting of...

    If you provide a 'directory', ...

to say:

    If you provide <directory>, ...

```

We're also transitioning to using hyphens to separate words in
template placeholders, so here you would have <template-directory> and
<git-dir>.
