Subject: git-gui: use git_init to create new repository dir
X-Git-Tag: v2.51.0-rc0~46^2^2~6
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=c85557098f90801583866d9829719b6e2cf4cd49;p=thirdparty%2Fgit.git

git-gui: use git_init to create new repository dir

When creating a new repository, git-gui creates a directory, cds to it,
then runs git-init, but git-init learned to create and initialize the
directory in 1.6.5. git-gui requires git version >= 2.36, so teach
git-gui to use git-init's full capability.
