There is currently no way to ask, but you might want to check out
help.autoCorrect:

  $ git config --global help.autoCorrect 10
  $ git glone ...
  WARNING: You called a Git command named 'gclone', which does not exist.
  Continuing under the assumption that you meant 'clone'
  in 1.0 seconds automatically...

You can set it to "-1" if you want no delay at all.

If you (or someone) wanted to add an interactive version, it would
probably make sense to trigger it by setting help.autoCorrect to "ask".
