If the working directory is not already in version +control, that includes setting up the version control, but not actually +committing anything. If the working directory is in version control, +it includes applying stored metadata to the checked out files in the +working directory. + +Please be careful to *never* overwrite existing files/directories +in the working directory. If a file you need to write already exists, check +if its contents are sane, and if not, emit a warning on stderr. + +If initialisation fails, exit nonzero and no later files will be run. |
