    Well, I've created the git repository at Devuan, then I edited the
git config file in qmount in the same way as it was in another
application and tried to push it. It failed and I blindly followed the
git suggestions to make it work, with the result that git eliminated
*all* files in qmount, replacing them with two dummy files automatically
generated with the repository at Devuan. I've lost the work of one week 
at least with this bloody tool I don't understand but am forced to use.
I've lost all the work on gettext, the man pages in English and French,
and a big rework of the makefiles. Sure I should have backed it up
before putting git inside. I know it's my fault. I'm sorry but it'll
take probably one or two weeks to redo it all.
