Hmph.  All your steps seem sane, and after removing my git
installation on one of my machines I tried the exact steps as
above but did not get this.

The message 'defaulting to local storage area' comes from git-init-db,
and '* git clone ...' comes from usage.

    dir="$2"
    mkdir "$dir" &&
    D=$(
            (cd "$dir" && git-init-db && pwd)
    ) &&
    test -d "$D" || usage

If you had my-git directory you would get the usage but not
'defaulting...', so that is not it.  The only possibility I
could think of is your 'pwd' says something different than the
working directory name?  I am very confused..
