-is also created.

-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_DIR/objects` directory is used.
-
-Running `git-init-db` in an existing repository is safe. It will not overwrite
-things that are already there. The primary reason for rerunning `git-init-db`
-is to pick up newly added templates.

+Running `git-init` in an existing repository is safe. It will not overwrite
+things that are already there. The primary reason for rerunning `git-init`
+is to pick up newly added templates.
+
+Note that `git-init` is the same as `git-init-db`. The command
+was primarily meant to initialize the object database, but over
+time it has become responsible for setting up the other aspects
+of the repository, such as installing the default hooks and
+setting the configuration variables. The old name is retained
+for backward compatibility reasons.

+SYNOPSIS

+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+
+Manage the set of repositories ("remotes") whose branches you track.
+
+With no arguments, shows a list of existing remotes.
+
+In the second form, adds a remote named <name> for the repository at
+<url>. The command `git fetch <name>` can then be used to create and
+update remote-tracking branches <name>/<branch>.
+
+In the third form, gives some information about the remote <name>.
+
+The remote configuration is achieved using the `remote.origin.url` and
+`remote.origin.fetch` configuration variables. (See
+gitlink:git-repo-config[1]).
+
+Examples
+--------
+
+Add a new remote, fetch, and check out a branch from it:
+
+------------
+$ git remote
+origin
+$ git branch -r
+origin/master
+$ git remote add linux-nfs git://linux-nfs.org/pub/nfs-2.6.git

BUGS
----
-If you are not using the SVN::* Perl libraries and somebody commits a
-conflicting changeset to SVN at a bad moment (right before you commit)
-causing a conflict and your commit to fail, your svn working tree
-($GIT_DIR/git-svn/tree) may be dirtied. The easiest thing to do is
-probably just to rm -rf $GIT_DIR/git-svn/tree and run 'rebuild'. You
-can avoid this problem entirely by using 'dcommit'.
-
We ignore all SVN properties except svn:executable. Too difficult to
map them since we rely heavily on git write-tree being _exactly_ the
same on both the SVN and git working trees and I prefer not to clutter
