Won't-fix: Failed to open repository of uploaded directory: .git not found

[happybeing]

When uploading a bare repository that has an empty refs subdirectory you will get the following error from the repo.OpenRepository() API, and passed back to the user interface:

Failed to open repository of uploaded directory: .git not found

This is because uploading a directory to the browser does not create empty subdirectories.

This does not need to be fixed for the proof-of-concept.

Possible Solution (when needed):

1. In git-bug, change isGitDirFs() to avoid the issue by changing the checks so that it only checks for directories which contain files, and for files we know should exist. This will allow the validity check to pass. For example, use:

markers := []string{"HEAD", "hooks", "info"}

2. We must also ensure that any missing directories are created so as not to cause problems using the repository. So, after upload and before the call to git portal src/repo/repo_gitbug.go, repo.OpenRepo(), create all of the empty directories which are created by a git init --bare.

Alternatives:

There may be better alternatives to this, such as creating a bare repository on the browser filesystem and then uploading to it.
