That's the only way that I know of.

Perhaps it would be nice if init-repo could detect there were existing 
branches under it and ask the user if they want to move the history into 
the shared repo. It could be a command line option, and interactive 
question, or it could just do it anyway as I can't think of a case where 
one would want to keep a branch inside a repo that didn't store its 
history in the repo.
