git init --bare on git 1.5.4.3

We have got git 1.5.4.3 (Version from Feb'08) on our server. As it seems, there was no option --bare back then.

How can I create a bare repository then?

Creating it locally and scp'ing it to the server would be an option, but way too much effort. Or is it possible with a local git command to create a new remote repository?

With such an early version of git, you can still create a bare repository with:

git --bare init

... rather than the more usual git init --bare.

Out of interest, I found this out from the message for the commit that introduced the --bare option to git init:

That commit is contained in git version v1.5.6 and later.
