Subject: git: Automatically create non-existing repositories.
X-Git-Url: https://git.stderr.nl/gitweb?a=commitdiff_plain;h=35359cf1b51f5d677b6351d7529f1f4986c0f7b8;p=matthijs%2Fservers%2Fdrsnuggles.git

git: Automatically create non-existing repositories.

This extends the git-prepend-base script to automatically create a bare
git repository when it does not exist yet. This also makes the option
handling slightly more robust, to prevent the script from messing with
arguments that aren't git repository paths at all.
