Thanks very much.  And (should have asked this first ....) is it
possible to init a repo remotely, i.e. to use the git on my machine to
do init-repo on a directory accessed via ssh or ftp?  And if yes ... to
do other git commands similarly remotely?

The latter would be a slow and painful way of working, I imagine, but
might be useful.
