[PATCH 2/2] make git-clone GIT_WORK_TREE aware

If GIT_WORK_TREE is set git-clone will use that path for the working tree.

---
All those import scripts which call git init too probably have
problems when GIT_WORK_TREE is exported.  Perhaps a simple
    test -n "$GIT_WORK_TREE" ||
    die "GIT_WORK_TREE is not supported by this script yet"
is enough for the moment for those scripts.
