Seems reasonable.  Though "gitInitTemplateDir" would probably be
easier-to-implement and cover hooks.  This should let us avoid
creating needless "branches" directories and "info/exclude"
files, as well.

Curious, what hooks do you use?  I've never used any.

I've also been thinking of a way to get mirrors to automatically
know about new epochs, too.  Maybe submodules can be used...


Note: I prefer the "epoch" term for the $N.git dirs over "shard"
      to disambiguate it from the Xapian partitioning we do.
