The "new" way (by "new" I mean available for over a year, since v1.4.1) is to put such configuration into your .git/config file:

[remote "shortcut"]
  url = git.server.example.com:/pub/git/test.git

Though if this is going to be the upstream from which you will be pushing and pulling, you may want to call it "origin" (which will make it the default for pushing and pulling).

Even more simply, you can get the same remote config that git-clone would have set up by using the git-remote command:

  $ git-init
  $ git-remote origin server:/pub/git/test.git
