[PATCH 0/2] git clone with --separate-git-dir destroys existing directory content

Hi,

I found an issue with git clone, when using --separate-git-dir and that directory already exists, it's content is destroyed.

I have created a patch set on origin/next, but (as I have learned this the hard way) please let me know if this needs to be backported...
