Description Boris Bokowski

By default, the server does not create a git repository for newly created folders. If we had a way to do a "git init" on an existing folder, we could completely remove the auto-creation of Git repositories.

I wonder what would be the UI for it. I can imagine two ways of addressing it:

1) Git Init action in the file navigator. When it is clicked, a Git repo is created in the selected location.
2) Git Init action in the Git Repo view. It would open a dialog where we select a location for the new Git repo.

I like 1) since it is simpler. I already suggested something similar for creating clones (Bug 340968, comment 9 and 12). The idea was to have Git Clone action per each folder in the file navigator. When it is clicked you get a dialog that gathers details about the repo to clone, and then it is cloned to the selected folder. It would be similar to our Import action.

Thoughts?

I like this one better then 2) too.

Gosia will add a checkbox to our Git Clone dialog to init a repo instead of cloning it. I think the dialog should be renamed then to Create Git Repository.

I added a new command on git repositories view, because there was place for it and it looks more clear. I still need to add an API call when bug 345269 is ready and change UI a when bug 339145 is ready.
