Subject: [PATCH v4] nmbug: Add an 'init' command
Date: Sun, 18 Jan 2015 16:40:10 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <b3d22d1d587a626e91f536f6393e476a41de84c9.1421627321.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 --bare init and use of NMBGIT as the work tree (what could go
wrong with an empty commit?) are suggestions from Michal Sojka [2].

Since v3 [1] I've incorporated Michal's suggestions [2]:
* Start with 'git --git-dir {NMBGIT} init --bare
* Use NMBGIT instead of a temporary workdir when creating the initial
“Start a new nmbug repository” commit.
As well as the core.logallrefupdates tweak I turned up in testing [3].
