Description
The following two commands should create an identical result, but with git flow an unexpected side effect is created:
$ git init; git flow init -d; echo hello >> README.md | md5sum README.md
1740b74b383fed4da87331e542b7f4e8 README.md
$ git init; echo hello >> README.md | md5sum README.md
b1946ac92492d2347c6235b4d2611184 README.md
Well I guess, I am working with a very UNIX-principle biased mindset ("doing one thing and doing it well", plus "no message is good message"), so I was surprised when git flow init created a README.md in an empty working directory of a fresh git repo.
The file is also not empty, which is another side effect, but contains redundant information about something I knew when I executed got flow init.
Please don't let git flow init create any content in the working directory. If there is a use case for using templated contents that could be done with an optional command line argument.
