When I wrote it, it seemed very unlikely that people would want to turn
'.' into a repository.  The idea was that you would keep your branches
in one place and your lightweight checkouts in another.

Since repositories would be just directories with branches in them, you
wouldn't want to init-repo an existing directory, including '.'.

No, I don't think we've discussed that.  Obviously, there are
workarounds to achieve that, but how do you see it being useful?
