Subject: [PATCH v3] nmbug: Add an 'init' command
Date: Tue, 28 Oct 2014 14:39:37 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <113512958b3fd64902517c1c55576faef816f852.1414532174.git.wking@tremily.us> (raw)
For folks that want to start versioning a new tag-space, instead of
cloning one that someone else has already started.
The empty-blob hash-object call avoids errors like:
$ nmbug commit
error: invalid object 100644 e69de29bb2d1d6434b8b29ae775ad8c2e48c5391 for
'tags/...'
fatal: git-write-tree: error building trees
'git HASH(0x9ef3eb8) write-tree' exited with nonzero value
David Bremner suggested [1]:
$ git hash-object -w /dev/null
instead of my Python version of:
$ git hash-object -w --stdin <&-
but I expect that closing stdin is more portable than the /dev/null
path (which doesn't exist on Windows, for example).

The only change since v2 [1] is a commit-message tweak:
* Mention Windows as an OS with stdin but no /dev/null [2].
Cheers,
Trevor
