git-sh-setup(1)
===============

NAME
----
git-sh-setup - Common git shell script setup code.

SYNOPSIS
--------
'git-sh-setup'

DESCRIPTION
-----------

Sets up the normal git environment variables and a few helper functions
(currently just "die()"), and returns ok if it all looks like a git archive.
So use it something like

	. git-sh-setup || die "Not a git archive"

to make the rest of the git scripts more careful and readable.
