  hmm, could you please do this just after running git-init-db in an
empty directory? I just realized cg-fetch will mkdir -p the .git/info/
directory.

  If the .git/info/ directory would be there after git-init-db, I
couldn't explain the

	/home/zbrown/git/cogito/cg-clone: line 137: .git/info/cg-fetch-earlydie: No such file or directory

error. If the .git/info/ directory is not there after git-init-db,
either it is somehow broken in git-1.3.0, or it belongs to a much older
git version.

  It might be a good idea to compare the ctimes.
