Description

Setting up git usually involves either:

git clone git://github.com/ook/donebox.git

or

mkdir foo; cd foo; git init

Redmine wants its git repository set up in a "nonstandard", "bare" way.

So it's very easy to get the setup wrong (#9128), the error messages are not really helpful, there is no help from the setup page itself and the relevant help page in the Redmine wiki is hard to find and the text accompanying the relevant configuration option is easy to missunderstand.

I'd like to suggest the following changes:

1. change the text that accompanies the "path" configuration option from "Bare and local repository (e.g. /gitrepo, c:\gitrepo)" to "repository that is bare and local (e.g. /gitrepo, c:\gitrepo)". (see here for the rationale)

2. Add a "Help" link to the text that is accompanying the "path" configuration option, that points to http://www.redmine.org/projects/redmine/wiki/RedmineRepositories#Git-repository
