title: trying to create new/empty git repo, git doesn't know "init"
body: <p><code>git init</code> or <code>git init --bare</code></p>
  
  <p>gives me:</p>
  
  <pre><code>git init --bare
  Usage: git COMMAND [OPTIONS] [TARGET]
  git command 'init' not found: commands are:
    add archimport bisect branch checkout cherry-pick clone commit
    count-objects cvsimport diff fetch format-patch log ls-remote
    merge-one-file octopus parse-remote prune pull push rebase relink rename
    repack request-pull reset resolve revert sh-setup status tag verify-tag
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I just want to create an empty repo to start with.  But I get this error.... </p>
  
  <p>ideas?</p>
