Re: [PATCH v3] nmbug: Add an 'init' command

Hi Trevor,

 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

Why do you create a non-bare repository and then make it bare? Before I
discovered this patch, I created the nmbug repository by hand and it was
possible to do it with bare repo from beginning. The following code
seems to work and is a bit simpler:

def init(remote=None):

Create an empty nmbug repository.

This wraps 'git init' with a few extra steps to support subsequent
status and commit commands.

_spawn(
args=['git', '--git-dir', NMBGIT, 'init', '--bare'],
wait=True)
# create an empty blob (e69de29bb2d1d6434b8b29ae775ad8c2e48c5391)
_git(args=['hash-object', '-w', '--stdin'], input='', wait=True)
_git(
args=[
'commit', '--allow-empty', '-m', 'Start a new nmbug repository'
],
additional_env={'GIT_WORK_TREE': NMBGIT},
wait=True)

Note that in the initial commit I set the work tree to NMBGIT. This is
because 'git commit' needs some work tree, but in our case it doesn't
matter which one because the commit is empty.

 Why do you create a non-bare repository and then make it bare?

Bare repositories don't usually have upstream tracking branches.  See
the commit message for c2001674 (nmbug: Add 'clone' and replace
FETCH_HEAD with @{upstream}, 2014-03-09) for details [1].  I can
resubmit this patch with a commit message that mentions the
explanation in c2001674 if folks want the extra clarity here.

Cheers,
Trevor

Ah, it seems that the lack of remote-tracking branches is unique to
'clone --bare'.  When I compare 'init --bare' with the above (using
Git 2.1.0), the only difference in the resulting repository is that
the the 'init --bare' form doesn't set core.logallrefupdates, while
the form above sets core.logallrefupdates to true.  I'll submit v4
using 'init --bare' and an explicit core.logallrefupdates config.

Cheers,
Trevor
