One designed for the "going open source" use case, where you have
existing code that you want to put into a new branch without history.
When there is no existing code, it seems simpler to do
cd ..
git init code-that-has-nothing-to-do-previous-cwd
cd code-that-*
... hack hack hack ...
git commit
git remote add origin <url>
git push -u origin master
BTW, I suspect a clearer way to say what you meant is "Sounds like a
misfeature" which is gentler and more focused than an implied "What
kind of idiot designed this?" Even if you are thinking the latter. :)
Hope that helps,
Jonathan
