What are you trying to store in that file? The only line I observe being printed to stdout while cloning is this one:

    Initialized empty Git repository in [...]/repo/.git/

Everything else (progress status) is printed to stderr and I presume that any error messages would also go to stderr too, if any. So possibly you would be happy with this:

    git clone -n git://gitorious.org/qt/qt.git repo 2> log

which works fine here with git-1.6.4.2. Though I agree that I would expect redirecting stdout to work.
