Of course--for some reason I didn't think of doing init-db with --bare.
Thanks again.

Subject: [PATCH] Documentation: simpler shared repository creation

Take Johannes Schindelin's suggestion for a further simplification of the
shared repository creation using git --bare init-db --shared.

Also fix a mistake from the previous patch: I forgot to remove the manual setup
which the --shared does for us.
