Fake bare git repos

Hi all, I tried following the various snippets around the web ML, but I could not get fake bare git repos with modified worktree to work as expected. Can someone dump a current snippet that will create a fake bare git repo that works locally _and_ allows me to push to a truly bare remote?

git annex fsck in bare repository

Hi all (i.e. Joey), git annex fsck is a no-op in a bare repository. While I can understand that there is no (easy) way to verify the symlinks, the annex objects are there regardless. Wouldn't it make sense to allow me to check repo integrity in bare repos, as well? As an aside, should those

[vcsh] ready for general consumption

Hi all, my take at vcsh, ending in a from-scratch re-implementation of madduck's fake bare git repo, is ready for general consumption. It's trivial to set up thanks to a template repo you can clone from. If anyone has any questions, ask. If I managed to pique your interest, have a look at it.

Re: git-annex setup with bare remote and optionally bup?

Also, bare git annex repos only know about themselves and not other repos. Again, this is somewhat expected, but still. The more I think about it, the more do I think that a combination of object stores of bare non-bare repos makes sense. Only need to figure out the cleanest way to meld bup into
