Don't you need -s here?
Two other minor notes:
1) I would add an example on how to update such a repo in case it will
be a mirror, like 'git --bare svn fetch'.
2) I would mention that one still needs a trick if he/she wants to allow
others to clone this repo, with something like:

git config remote.origin.url . git config remote.origin.fetch +refs/remotes/tags/*:refs/tags/* git config --add remote.origin.fetch +refs/remotes/*:refs/heads/* git fetch
