You're right, the "info" directory is not there if I just run git-init-db in an
empty directory.

I just downloaded the latest versions of git and cogito from kernel.org:
cogito-0.17.2 and git-1.3.0; put their directories in my path, and ran "make" on
both of them. There's no other version in my path.

I see the same behavior: git-init-db does not create the .git/info directory.

09:46:55 [zbrown] ~/git/trees$ "ls" -ltc `which git; which git-init-db`
-rwxrwxr-x 2 zbrown zbrown 452312 Apr 20 09:44 /home/zbrown/git/git//git
-rwxrwxr-x 1 zbrown zbrown 235282 Apr 20 09:43 /home/zbrown/git/git//git-init-db

Be well,
Zack
