Also get_repo_path(). By the way if you work on this, please move
enter_repo() to setup.c. Keeping it close to setup_* functions may
increase the chance that it also gets fixed along with setup_*.

Another thing. "git init" should probably learn to create .git file.
Each time I use .git file I have to look at man page^W^Wsource code
again to know its syntax.
