We have got git 1.5.4.3 (Version from Feb’08) on our server. As it seems, there was no option --bare back then.
How can I create a bare repository then?
Creating it locally and scp’ing it to the server would be an option, but way too much effort.
Or is it possible with a local git command to create a new remote repository?
With such an early version of git, you can still create a bare repository with:
… rather than the more usual
git init --bare.Out of interest, I found this out from the message for the commit that introduced the
--bareoption togit init:That commit is contained in git version v1.5.6 and later.
