Previously, cloning an empty repository looked like this:
$ (mkdir parent && cd parent && git --bare init)
$ git-clone parent child
Initialized empty Git repository in /home/peff/clone/child/.git/
$ cd child
-bash: cd: child: No such file or directory
$ echo 'wtf?' | mail git@vger.kernel.org
Now we at least report that the clone was not successful.

then
