Hi,

When I edit the config file manually, i.e. without public-inbox-init, I
see errors until messages are added, such as:

    ($INBOX_DIR/description missing)

or
    fatal: not a git repository (or any parent up to mount point /srv)
    Stopping at filesystem boundary (GIT_DISCOVERY_ACROSS_FILESYSTEM not set).
    error in git rev-parse --git-dir (cwd:.):

How may I initialize a new Git repo before adding any messages, please?

Kind regards
Felix

You can still use -init, it should be idempotent

for v1, it's the same as $GIT_DIR/description gitweb uses.
for v2 it's the same thing at the top-level (same level as all.git)

Not sure, v1 should just be a bare git repo (git init --bare).
