I am currently on vacation and cannot bisect or debug this but I am
pretty confident that this patch changes the behaviour of directory name
guessing. With Git 2.4.6, cloning http://foo.bar/foo.git/ results in a
directory named foo and with Git 2.5.0, the resulting directory is
called foo.git.

Note how the end variable is decreased when the repository name ends
with a slash but that isn't taken into account when simply using
strip_suffix() later...

Is this intended?
