This simply creates an empty git object database - basically a `.git`
directory and `.git/object/??/` directories.
+If the 'GIT_DIR' environment variable is set then it specifies a path
+to use instead of `./.git` for the base of the repository.
+
If the object storage directory is specified via the 'GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY'
environment variable then the sha1 directories are created underneath -
otherwise the default `.git/objects` directory is used.
