No, he manually added

	url = //...
only.
I'm sure he wouldn't know "clone" if it bit him.  I assume the entire repository and working tree was simply copied from his machine.
This is the same guy who insists on rebasing the dev branch.  As soon as I learned to use "git log" I tried to convince him that he should merge, not rebase, but he won't listen.  So I got control and did the merge (not rebase) and am trying to device a work-flow and matching cook book for the team.
Nobody thought to post to this mailing list either.  So you have a selection bias in your sample.  I speculate that there is a larger population of people who use git poorly, and that includes not participating in the community to learn better.
Just like you can write Fortran in any language, git happily lets you treat it like SourceSafe, with a dash of "just enough knowledge to be dangerous" use of other features.
