/**
 * This is a sample program that is similar to "git init".  See the
 * documentation for that (try "git help init") to understand what this
 * program is emulating.
 *
 * This demonstrates using the libgit2 APIs to initialize a new repository.
 *
 * This also contains a special additional option that regular "git init"
 * does not support which is "--initial-commit" to make a first empty commit.
 * That is demonstrated in the "create_initial_commit" helper function.
