Yeah, I do not think it is particularly a good idea, but that is what (I thought) you implied in your original message. 

In any case, you can always do
    $ git clone -n $there it.git
    $ mv it.git/.git . && rmdir it.git && git checkout -f

or something like that (adjust what you move out of it.git when you are doing a bare clone), so in that sense I do not deeply care about the motivation of your patch myself.

But I liked the helper function to abstract away the many identical checks we do for "is it a dot or a dot dot?", and that was the primary reason why I commented on your patches.
