Our own instructions [1] tell how to make a bare repository (one that 
doesn't contain a source tree):

     mkdir myproject.git
     cd myproject.git
     git init --bare
     cat ... | git fast-import
     cd SOMEWHERE
     git clone /path/to/myproject.git

But if you want to make a non-bare repo, then you would do something like

     git init
     cat ... | git fast-import
     # The repository is now ready but the current version of the
     # source tree has to be checked out:
     git checkout -- .

I don't understand why the tutorial suggests that you do "git add ." 
after "git init".  It seems like a strange substitute for the "git 
checkout" command above.

I'm confused.  Are you still having trouble or did the conversion work 
this time?
