From b57fb80a7d7d19102b31ab94a28ed43ea1ee07bb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy Date: Sat, 19 Mar 2011 22:16:56 +0700 Subject: init, clone: support --separate-git-dir for .git file MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit --separate-git-dir tells git to create git dir at the specified location, instead of where it is supposed to be. A .git file that points to that location will be put in place so that it appears normal to repo discovery process.
