[BUG] Git looks for repository in wrong directory

Hi.

The following sequence:

mkdir r1 cd r1 git init echo a > a git add a git commit -m "a" cd .. git clone r1 r1.git cd r1 echo b > b git add b git commit -m "b" cd .. git ls-remote r1 git ls-remote r1/.

shows that Git searches for a repository in the wrong place. I think the last two commands should output exactly the same but "git ls-remote r1" actually lists the contents of "r1.git". Is that a bug or is this (extremely confusing) behaviour intended?

This also afflicts the behaviour of "git-pull" and friends. I cloned a directory and tried to pull new commits but I repeatedly got stuck with an older commit. I have to move a second directory that was named like the first directory, only with an appended ".git", out of the way so that I could access the repository I asked for.

Used Git version is 1.5.6.1 on Linux 2.6.25.6 (Gentoo/x86).
