Fails if local directory already exsits #13

Closed jachin closed 9 years ago

jachin commented 10 years ago

If the directory specified in the local_path of the config is already there, git syn complains about a missing repository.

fatal: Not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git

It should give a more helpful error message, and ideally, it would use the directory anyway as long as it was empty and complain if it wasn't.

I have encountered this as well, because I put my .yaml files inside the folder of the directory. Imagine my dismay when nothing would work if I already created the local folder and put my config inside, and THEN tried to run git_sync.

Since this is all CLI, can we have it stop and ask what you want to do in the case that the directory isn't already empty? Something like "Local files found! Add these to git_sync repo? (Y) yes, (n) no and abort.". That way you could drop git_sync on a locally built project and simply use it to "deploy" to a server.
