It would be a nice convenience to be able to specify the directory name of a new
repository when running 'darcs init'. We can already do this with 'darcs get
<some-repo> ourname', would like to be able to 'darcs init ourname'.

This would replace the common sequence of:
mkdir foo
cd foo
darcs init

Which would now be just:
darcs init foo

Currently you can do this, which is NEARLY optimal:

    darcs init --repodir foo

Closing this off as a duplicate of issue1268, thanks!
