So Ubuntu hardy doesn't ship with the handy git wrapper/tool cogito because git has all the features in it incoperated... somewhere...

But documentation is surprisingly sparse. Anyways, if you want to set up a git repo nowadays using just git, it should go as something like follows:

root@server # cd /git
root@server # mkdir newrepo
root@server # chgrp git newrepo
root@server # chmod g+ws newrepo
root@server # cd newrepo
root@server # git init

And if this is a public repository

root@server # touch git-daemon-export-ok

On the client side.

user@client $ cd project
user@client $ git init
user@client $ git add *
user@client $ git commit -m "Initial code dump"
user@client $ git remote add origin ssh://user@git.server.com/git/reponame
user@client $ git push origin master

and after that regular

user@client $ git push

works just fine.
