sl init does not work

[vdemichev]

Expected: sl init creartes .sl
Observed: sl init aborts and recommends --git which it describes as experimental
Also: no documentation whatsoever on creating repositories, no documentation on any limitations, no documentation on native blob support or lack thereof.
Suggestion: if the public release only works with --git, please clearly indicate this limitation.
