That's not what 'init-repo' does, though. A repository is not a place
to which revisions can be committed; it's useless until branches are
placed there.

If anything, I'd prefer to see the two commands remain separate and
named differently so this confusion doesn't arise. But I don't have a
better suggestion for the names, and don't see it as too much of a
problem.
