Does it?

I had the impression that the templates are meant for site-specific 
modifications. My patch tried to make it more standard than that.

For example, you _could_ have set core.logallrefupdates from the 
templates, yet you chose not to, but rather hard-wire it into "git init". 
Which I completely agree to.

Ciao,
