+### Please describe the problem.
+
+As of a14f6ce75 (fix repo description setting bugs, 2019-05-23), `git annex init` without a description sets the description to a blank string.  AFAICT from the description of that change and from the corresponding [bug report][0], that isn't an intentional change.
+
+[0]: https://git-annex.branchable.com/bugs/git-annex-init_with_no_args_overwrites_existing_repo_description/
+### What steps will reproduce the problem?
+
+```
+cd $(mktemp -dt gx-XXXXXXX)
+git init
+git annex init
+git annex info --json | jq
+```
+
+On the parent of a14f6ce75, this shows
+
+```
