+Using vcsrepo with Git
+======================
+
+To create a blank repository
+----------------------------
+
+Define a `vcsrepo` without a `source` or `revision`:
+
+    vcsrepo { "/path/to/repo":
+      ensure: present
+    }
+
+If you're defining this for a central/"official" repository, you'll
+probably want to make it a "bare" repository.  Do this by setting
+`ensure` to `bare` instead of `present`:
+
+    vcsrepo { "/path/to/repo":
+        ensure: bare
+    }
