I know it doesn't ;-)

As "clone" is a moral equivalent of "init" possibly followed by some auto-configuration followed by "fetch" and "checkout", it is a natural consequence of already supporting the "remove.<name>.vcs" configuration variable, and if we want to avoid the insane svn+http:// syntax, it is a logical thing to add such support.
