fix(sync): stage .gitignore during init so first commit is never empty#86

When ~/.memex has no cards yet, `git add cards` has nothing to stage (git can't track empty dirs). The initial commit silently failed, leaving HEAD unresolvable, which caused `git push -u origin HEAD` to error with "src refspec HEAD does not match any". Fix: stage .gitignore (always created during init) so the commit always has content. Also return the resolved repo URL from init() and print it in the CLI output.

Summary
sync --initfailed withsrc refspec HEAD does not match anywhen~/.memexhad no cards. The root cause was that onlycards/andarchive/were staged before the initial commit — both are empty dirs that git can't track, so the commit silently failed andHEADnever resolved..gitignore(always created during init) so the initial commit always has content.init()now returns the resolved repo URL; CLI printsSync initialized with <url>instead of the generic message.Test plan
