07:11:13 [zbrown] ~$ git --version
git version 1.3.0.g2473-dirty
07:18:38 [zbrown] ~$ which git-init-db
/home/zbrown/git/git//git-init-db
07:18:52 [zbrown] ~$ which git        
/home/zbrown/git/git//git
07:18:54 [zbrown] ~$ 

I assume the "-dirty" in the version number means it thinks I've made some
changes, but I really haven't. Maybe the repo got corrupted somehow.

Be well,
Zack
