Subject: Update README with note about no working directory
X-Git-Url: http://crossforests.com/gitweb?a=commitdiff_plain;h=29e19d696f8baf903fc49fa096d501845aff4e92;p=python%2Ffast-export.git

Update README with note about no working directory

If you run the commands listed in usage

```bash
  mkdir repo-git # or whatever
  cd repo-git
  git init
  hg-fast-export.sh -r <repo>
```

you are not given a working directory to start working in. I was
caught off-guard by this when I ran `git status` and everything in the
repo was listed as deleted. A quick google search indicates I'm not
the only one who was surprised.
