git: ‘init’ is not a git-command

You try to initialize a git repository with “git init” and get an error reply like:

git: ‘init’ is not a git-command

This happened to me on Debian Etch. You simply have a too old version of git! Uninstall your version (e.g. aptitude purge git) and download the current version from the git website.
