The repo was checked out from subversion. We attempted to force an import of a git repo over the directory and got an
error.

I noticed Piston::Git::WorkingCopy.understands_dir?(dir) returned false.
It fell through to line 33 in git/working_copy.rb

Hi and thanks for the bug report.  It is not possible to change
the pistonized directory without removing the original one before.
I want to have an "upgrade" command which will convert
SVN properties to the new .piston.yml format, but it's not ready
yet.

I tried uninstalling open4 on my home machine and piston
properly complained.

I'm not sure why Piston didn't not complain about me not
having open4 on my work machine.

Piston has a dependency on open4. The Git::Client#git method
silently failed.

Oops, I did that in my piston repo.

Here is the command in the correct repo.
